Parks, Recreation and Community Life

Recreation is what most people know Carlton Park for. Prime Ministers' Park is a 65-acre green space next to Carlton Comprehensive High School, with four lighted tennis courts, three regulation softball diamonds, a baseball diamond, two combination football and soccer fields, and a 400-metre running track (Max Clunie Field and Harry Jerome Track). The Frank J. Dunn Swimming Pool, one of only two indoor pools in Prince Albert, is attached to the high school and shared with the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division.

The Carlton Park Community Club at 3100 Dunn Drive is a working local hub. It offers a multi-purpose hall with full kitchen and bar, a lit outdoor rink for shinny hockey, a separate pleasure-skating rink with a warm-up area, a mini rink for kids, a soccer pitch, and refurbished basketball and pickleball courts (2 basketball courts and 3 pickleball courts) that were repaved and painted in a 2023 upgrade jointly funded by the City and the club.

Just outside the neighbourhood, residents are steps from the Art Hauser Centre (home of the WHL's Prince Albert Raiders), the Kinsmen Skateboard and BMX Park, and easy access to the Rotary Trail along the North Saskatchewan River.
