🌲 About Us: Why We Roam

We started Roam Local because we love being outside. Whether it’s a post-work trail ride, a weekend hike, or chasing the sun on a patio - we’re always looking for new ways to explore. But honestly? Finding new places to go felt harder than it should’ve been. Outdated blogs, scattered info, ten tabs open just to find something new to explore? No thanks.

Roam Local is your all-in-one guide to exploring Sherwood Park and the surrounding areas - created by people who actually live here, roam here, and want to share what’s good. From trails and seasonal events to dog-friendly spots and local activities you didn’t even know existed, we’re here to help you discover it, plan it, and actually get outside and enjoy it.

But we’re not just here to map trails or adventures - we’re here to spotlight the local businesses that make our communities shine. From cozy coffee shops and gear stops to breweries and restaurants worth the detour, we want to highlight the makers and doers behind your favourite local spots. Because this isn’t just a resource - it’s a community.

One of the biggest reasons we launched Roam Local was to bring like-minded people together. People who love the outdoors, who want to support small businesses, and who are always down to explore something new. We’re creating a space where adventure meets real recommendations, with honest tips from locals who’ve actually been there.

We believe life is better outdoors. And we believe the best places are the ones people are genuinely excited to share. That’s why we want you involved - send us your favourite trails, patios, events, and spots worth discovering. Roam Local is built on community knowledge - by locals, for locals.

Sure, we don’t have towering mountains or turquoise lakes in our backyard - but we’ve got more than enough if you know where to look.

Let’s make it easier to get outside, support local, and fall in love with where we live.
All in one place. All local. All together.
