Green Shack Program

The City's Green Shack program is a free summer drop-in program at Big Lake's playgrounds catered to children ages 6 to 12.

Green shacks open on Monday June 29, 2026.

Every summer, City of Edmonton program leaders host games, challenges and activities during the week at the three Big Lake playgrounds.

Program staff organize games, crafts and events. A list of activities and special events is posted on the side of the Green Shack each week.
