Safety first

Kinsmen Water Park closed for the day after medical emergency

Aug 21, 2025 | 1:24 PM

A swimmer experienced a medical emergency at the Kinsmen Water Park Thursday.

Around 11:30 a.m., lifeguards responded to the swimmer. A press release from the City of Prince Albert did not provide details about what led to the incident but said the swimmer was alert when paramedics from Parkland Ambulance arrived on scene. The patient was transported to Victoria Hospital with an adult chaperone, where they were treated.

The city is reminding the public of the Kinsmen Water Park’s adult supervision policy:

• All children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult (over 18) in the water, within arm’s reach, at all times.
• In the Kinsmen Water Park, children ages 8–10 must be accompanied by an adult (over 18).

The water park will be closed for the remainder of the day to allow staff to complete a debrief.
