Explore Beaumont - One of the first things that we had to figure out once we moved out here to Beaumont was where to go and what to do with our family for together time. Now having the whole city shut down two weeks after you move to a new city is never ideal, so at first we really struggled with where we should head out to and where we should avoid. Luckily, my years of selling real estate in the city gave me pretty good background knowledge base from which to choose from and expand.
Having said that, I was surprised at how many of the places we visited that I thought would be great disappointed, and on the other hand how many of the places I didn't think would be good for us ended up being fantastic. I guess it just goes to show you that you have to try something to figure out if you like it or not.
Here is our list of top five places people new to Beaumont should try to start:
Chartier - It was our favourite French restaurant before we moved to Beaumont, and it's probably our favourite restaurant in Beaumont now that we've moved here. The food is amazing, and is equalled by the quality of service that is provided by the hard-working folks there. It has been amazing to watch this restaurant really evolve into community leaders during the covid-19 pandemic, putting their money where their mouths are and trying to stay viable in a very unviable time.
Four Seasons Park - This Sport and Recreation Area truly lives up to its name! No matter what season of the year, there are always multiple things to do at Four Seasons Park. In the summer you can play Frisbee golf or hit up the Splash Park. In the fall you can go for long walks along the trails. In the winter you can go skating on there Forest skating path, and in the springtime you can fish in the nearby stocked lake.
St Vital Church - The one true landmark in this fine City, and one of the enduring landmarks in all of Alberta, this church has been around for decades located at the very top of the hill in downtown Beaumont. Not only is the church there to serve spiritual needs, but the land around it is great for activities all year long. during the winter it is the number one place to go sledding or tobogganing, as long as you have a set of brakes to avoid hitting the hay bales down at the bottom of the hill. Easily the most photographed thing in our city, and for good reason!
Maina’s Donair - Another true Beaumont original, this unassuming Donair shop recently won an online contest for the best Donair spot in all of the Edmonton and surrounding areas. They take care of you like your family. And it doesn't hurt that their donairs are unbelievable!
Painted Door on Main Gift & Gallery - This small local Gallery packs a big punch of local artisans, whimsical crafts, and gift shop favourites!You can find everything from handmade cards two stained glass art, to paintings and photography, to local history and treats. A great place to pick up a gift or 4!
