Professors Lake Recreation Centre

There's nothing like a day at the beach, and Professors Lake has it all!  You can head out on the breezy lake in a rented sailboat, windsurfer, canoe, or paddle boat.  Zip down the waterslide, or jump off the swim raft into the refreshing water.  If you've got energy to spare, come enjoy a friendly game of beach volleyball.  For your convenience, Professors Lake has a snack bar, change rooms, and showers.
