Community Recreation & Amenities
| Nathan Hornburg Skatepark: On September 24, 2007, the war in Afghanistan claimed the life of Corporal Nathan Hornburg. The 24- year old reservist with the King’s Own Calgary Regiment was the son of one of our local ranching families and was a member of this community. To honour his memory and pay tribute to his community involvement, family and friends collaborated with the Nanton & District Lions Club to form a committee for the creation of a skatepark. | |
| With substantial fund raising, the park was built and landscaped and stands today as a tribute to not only Nathan, but the Nanton and area community spirit accomplishments. | |
| Nanton Golf Club: The Nanton Golf Club is a premier 18-hole public golf course that combines the natural beauty of the Foothills with the relaxed, friendly environment of a small town. Our vision is to provide both local members and visitors with the unique golf experience of a Club in the Country – Not a Country Club. The majestic and natural beauty of the course is complimented by a well-appointed Clubhouse and a full-service Proshop, where our friendly staff are always happy to provide information and assistance. | Nanton Rodeo Grounds: The grounds are the home of Nanton Nite Rodeo, which is held every weekend during the summer months. See the rising stars of tomorrow as they buck their way to the top of amateur ranks. This is where the pros get their start. Contact the Nanton Agricultural Society for more information about the grounds. |
