Island Park Beach and Community Centre

Opening its doors in 2002, the Island Park Community Centre is home to the Sandfield Centre, Gary Shepherd Hall and several community events, such as the Festival of Lights. 

Island Park

Island Park's amenities include four soccer fields, two tennis courts, a concrete Skateboard Park, Basketball Court, beach volley ball area and fully equipped playground.  There is also a Splash Pad, Gazebo and paved pathways lined with beautiful flower beds and trees.  Throughout the summer and fall, the Skateboard Park is open from 8:00am to 9:00pm.  This massive Park with its rails, stairs and jumps, was a recreation addition that was aimed at providing a safe place for area youth, and a fun place to perfect their skateboarding skills.

Island Park is located at 102 Derby Street West, Alexandria ON K0C 1A0.

Sandfield Centre

The Sandfield Centre holds 99 people and is an ideal and beautiful location to hold your next event.

It is currently the location of all Regular Council Meetings.

Gary Shepherd Hall

The eastern wing of the Community Centre was renamed to the Gary Shepherd Hall in 2013, in memory of the long serving councillor. He represented the area from 1992 until he passed in April of 2013.

Island Park Beach

Alexandria's Island Park features a lovely sandy beach open to the public, completely free and perfect for swimming, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, picnicking, sandcastle-building, and so much more.

This quaint, welcoming beach located in the cozy heart of Alexandria offers a perfect mix of sun and natural shade, warm sand, crystal-clear water, and plenty of beautiful picnic spots overlooking the Mill Pond.

You will also find a splash pad and two full play structures for the little ones, located just a stone's throw from the beach - so go ahead and bring the whole family for a full day of summer fun.
Get there on a Saturday before 1:30 p.m. (May to October) and you just might catch the local farmers' market on your way in!
