Gymns

There is at least one gymn where you can work out, possibly two, not sure if the second is still open.

Okotoks also has its own airport. A number of small air shows have been held there over the years, not sure if that still is the case. It was the home of an aircraft charter company, flight school, and a helicopter flying school. The site has now evolved into an airpark community called the Okotoks Air Ranch, where the property owners, if they wish, can build homes with attached hangars for their private planes. This has brought complaints from those living close to the Air Ranch, noise being the primary problem.
