Alexandra Park

This park is located right across the street from our LBD PCN office and provides a great, quiet spot to go for a picnic or to enjoy you lunch, as our staff often does when it is nice outside. There are picnic tables located throughout the park and the huge trees provide shade in the hot summer months.

Our LBD PCN Exercise Specialist, Corinne Cutler, enjoys practicing pilates in the park. This is such a nice, open, quiet location, any type of physical activity can be done here:

Prescription to Get Active

The Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network is partnering with local municipalities in a unique venture where local family physicians prescribe physical activity to patients who they feel would benefit from increased activity. 

With each “Prescription to Get Active”, doctors are able to prescribe the intensity, duration and frequency of activity a patient is required to undertake to help in preventing future medical issues such as heart conditions, lung conditions and diabetes. 

Regular physical exercise has been shown to improve health and quality of life, as well as significantly reducing the risks of chronic disease, disability and premature death.

In addition to local recreation facilities, there are many free, outdoor locations in our region where the community can participate in increasing activity.

To receive your Prescription to Get Active or for more information on this program, please speak to your LBD PCN family physician.
