Selkirk Park is a 200-acre community park with a wide variety of recreational opportunities. It occupies a peninsula jutting into the Red River. The northern end of the peninsula is a bird sanctuary with several hiking trails maintained by the Selkirk Birdwatchers Club. The main part of the park is protected from the Red River's annual spring floods by a dike that forms a 3.5 km walking trail that loops around the southern developed portion of the park.

The park is open from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm from late May to late October.
