Summerside: Lake Life in South Edmonton

Summerside is the lake neighbourhood, in the Ellerslie area of south Edmonton. Lake Summerside is a freshwater lake built just for recreation. Residents pay a fee to the residents' association for exclusive use, and the beach club has a playground, tennis and basketball courts and a winter skating rink. If beach days without leaving the city sound good, it's worth a look. One tip: check the lake fee before you buy, and I'll help you find it.
