About the Albert Park Community Association

The Albert Park Community Association (APCA) serves residents living south of 25th Avenue and west of Albert Street in Regina, Saskatchewan. APCA holds a special place in the city’s history as the first Community Association ever founded in Regina. Over the decades, it has continued to grow and evolve alongside its residents, adapting to the needs of an ever-changing neighbourhood.

Founded in 1964 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 1971, APCA remains committed to supporting and enriching the Albert Park community.

Contributions

APCA proudly supports our community by making annual donations to local charities and to school community councils for playground and auditorium improvements. We also offer three Student Advisor positions on our Board of Directors, each providing an honorarium and opportunities to build leadership, communication, and community-engagement skills. In addition, APCA organizes free public skating every Thursday throughout the winter months, creating accessible recreation for residents of all ages.

APCA is also proud to have opened a Little Free Library in Realtors Park — the first of its kind in Regina — offering books for all ages and sporting equipment for youth during the summer. Realtors Park is also home to Regina’s first outdoor gym, giving residents a free, accessible way to stay active year-round.

Whether you participate in our programs or take on a role within our Board, your involvement makes a difference. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do — and we’d love to welcome you into the APCA family.

Facility & Programs

The South Leisure Centre & Optimist Arena (170 Sunset Drive) are the central hub for APCA programming. On any given weekday, the gym, arena, and multipurpose rooms are alive with activity. Fitness, art, and cultural programs run throughout the year for all ages, offering everything from soccer, power skating, badminton, floor hockey, and pickleball to improv and more. If you have an idea for a new program, we’d love to hear it — community ideas help shape what we offer.

APCA has also played a major role in supporting capital development around Realtors Park, including the Optimist Arena, splash pad, shade structure and picnic benches, play structure, Regina’s first outdoor gym, and the multi-use pathway that surrounds the park. We are proud to have added a Little Free Library, and we successfully advocated for a community firepit, coming in winter 2025/2026. Looking ahead, APCA will lead a major beautification project for the front entrance of the South Leisure Centre in spring 2026, creating an even more welcoming community space for residents.

About the Neighbourhood

Albert Park is home to over 11,000 residents, making it one of Regina’s largest and most vibrant neighbourhoods. The South Leisure Centre, the accessible playground at Realtors Park, and the many surrounding parks and ice rinks provide year-round recreation for families and individuals of all ages. The community features a mix of housing options and is well-served by frequent public transit connecting residents to nearby commercial areas, including Albert Street, Southland Mall, and The Grasslands.
