Residents and visitors all enjoy an authentic small community feel with all in-town services and amenities easily walkable.  Spend time exploring the vibrant Village downtown to visit local restaurants, shopping, and activities.

The Village of Radium has amenities for everyone including walking paths, pickleball courts, outdoor firepits, a community skating rink, splash park, and river access free for residents and visitors to enjoy.  We recently built the award winning Radium Hot Springs Centre & Public Library and have additional municipal facilities available  Larger communities and additional services are only a ten minute drive away.
