These rules apply to all residents and their guests; it is the responsibility of each property owner to ensure all property occupants and guests are aware of all posted LCRA rules and regulations and follow them accordingly.

​

All members and their guests are solely responsible for any loss, accidents, or injuries to themselves or others as a result of access to, or use of, the LCRA property and facilities. All park amenities and activities are unsupervised; use of, and access to, the LCRA property and amenities is done so AT YOUR OWN RISK.

​

Access

​

• Access to the lake, park, and associated amenities is restricted to active LCRA members (in good standing) and their guests.

  • • See Guest Rules for more information on guest access.

• Members MUST present their LCRA membership card to gain entry.

  • • If you do not have your card, you will not be allowed access – this is non-negotiable.

• If a member has lost their membership card, new ones can be printed at the LCRA Office for $5.00 (debit, cheque or cash – credit card not accepted).

• LCRA members are not permitted to sign in other LCRA members (from different properties).

  • • This allows us to better track and restrict access to unpaid accounts.

​

Alcohol, Drugs, & Smoking

​

• Alcohol and drugs are not permitted anywhere on LCRA property; any of these substances found on-site will be confiscated and violators will be asked to leave.

• Alcohol and drugs are also not permitted on any lake access docks and pathways, or on privately-owned boats and docks.

• Smoking and vaping of any substance is not permitted anywhere on LCRA property.

​

Animals & Pets

​

• Pets are not permitted on LCRA property, including on any privately-owned boats or docks.

• Pets are not permitted to be left in vehicles, for any length of time – if we cannot contact the owner, City of Calgary Bylaw will be notified.

• Those with service animals must present proof of service status to the LCRA Office upon entry.

​

Behaviour

​

• Any behaviour deemed aggressive, violent, abusive, or harassing in nature may be deemed grounds for immediate removal.

  • This can include, but is not limited to, swearing, shouting, derogatory comments, issuing threats, or touching in any way.

​

Bicycles, Scooters, Rollerblades, & Other Wheeled Transport Devices

​

• Most bicycles are not permitted on LCRA property; small training bicycles for children under the age of 3 are only permitted on the Top Pad area.

• Non-powered scooters, skateboards, and inline skates are only permitted on the top pad; violators will be asked to leave the property.

• Unless required for mobility issues, powered scooters are not permitted.

• Bicycle racks are provided outside the park gates; this is the only parking area for equipment not allowed inside the park. It is the sole responsibility of members and their guests to properly secure and protect their property; the LCRA will not be held responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property.

• Performance of tricks is not permitted; all wheels must stay on the ground at all times.

​

Dock Usage

​

• Access to private and lake-access docks is only permitted to those who own property with direct access to these areas.

• Unless under emergency circumstances, general residents are not permitted access to private or lake-access docks.

• Access to the LCRA floating swim dock and boating dock is permitted to all members.

​

Fires & Cooking

​

• Solid fuel fires are restricted to the Cookshacks or LCRA BBQ pits; only charcoal briquettes are permitted.

• The burning of wood or other materials is prohibited, except for the purposes of starting charcoal briquettes in designated areas.

• Please douse all fires and embers with water after use; doused coals may be left in place for LCRA staff to dispose of quickly.

• Personal barbecues, grills, or cook stations may be utilized in the park, but must be propane/butane fueled and kept at least 10 feet away from any structure.

• Fires of any kind are not permitted on the lake (including lake access docks) or on any ice surfaces.

​

Sports Equipment Rentals

​

• SUMMER: All sports equipment is rented out of the LCRA Court Shack (at the tennis courts) on a first-come, first-served basis.

• FALL/WINTER/SPRING: All sports equipment is rented by speaking with the staff at the LCRA Office.

• Membership cards are required to be presented for any equipment loan and must be left with LCRA staff; one membership card allows the rental of one piece of equipment.
