It's good to see Red Deer growing. Unfortunately, the city is still growing using an outdated planning model hell-bent on suburb growth. Would really be nice if they'd get moving on the downtown redevelopment and make something interesting of the river valley. The city needs to grow some independence and actually stand for something other than a rest stop.

I think the river valley is nice.
From west to east you have:
Maskepetoon Park, Red Deer G & C Club, Great Chief Park, Bower Ponds, Geatz Bird Sanctuary, Three Mile Bend.
It is a nice natural area.
