Accessibility at Spruce Meadows

At Spruce Meadows, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all our guests. We recognise the importance of accessibility and strive to ensure our grounds, events, and services are accessible to everyone, including guests with disabilities and those with limited mobility.


Venue Access

The Spruce Meadows property spans more than 360 acres, with approximately 60 acres dedicated to our public entertainment core. Due to the large size of the venue and variable terrain, we recommend guests who experience difficulty walking make arrangements to rent or bring their own wheelchairs or mobility aids prior to arrival, as Spruce Meadows does not offer wheelchair rentals on site.



Accessible Parking ♿️ 

Designated accessible parking is available for guests displaying a valid government-issued placard. These spaces are located in Lots 7 and 8, situated on the west side of Spruce Meadows, accessible via Tournament Lane. Event staff and signage will help guide guests to the appropriate areas.
