Grab and Go/Takeout Restaurant with an Ice Cream Shoppe
Kenton, MB
Located on Kenton’s main street, across from our local Dodge dealership, this venue is used for many events, from Canada Day celebrations, concerts, fundraisers, and evenings out on the Legion patio, to personal events such as weddings and funerals.
The bandstand is nestled in the centre of town, surrounded by beautiful trees and gardens. The stage itself is decorated with murals done by Kenton’s very own artists, Erica and Mary Lowe, and built by the volunteer hands of many wonderful people in the community. Kenton is very lucky to have this venue maintained again by their “green thumb” volunteer gardeners. The bandstand itself is open to both the Legion patio and the large green space. This gives lots of opportunity for enjoying the shows from any vantage point.
The idea to construct this venue came about when some mothers in the community who attend the local playgroup thought a natural playground would be a nice addition to the town. The idea took roots and the community has not looked back. New additions to the park have included benches, balance beam logs for play, gardens, and a memorial garden.
The memorial garden has been a nice addition to the space, giving everyone a spot in town to remember loved ones lost. It is a work in progress and the community hopes to continue to create this space into an area that can grow over time for all to enjoy.
You can find our page on Facebook under Kenton Community Park Project. Look it up and stay tuned for summer events...or just come and enjoy the green space next time you find yourself in Kenton!

Explore this 10.8-km loop trail near Wallace-Woodworth, Manitoba. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This trail is great for mountain biking, and it’s unlikely you’ll encounter many other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are May through September.
Located on the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border, this local trail is perfect for conditioning and practicing mountain bike skills. This trail is full of amazing viewpoints of the valley and creek, and although the route is available for hikers, it was built for mountain-bike riding so it twists and turns to get as much trail into a small area as possible. It has a lot of steep short climbs and drops.
This trail is located near/on an active pasture: Please respect all gates, fences and animals.
