Aspen Beach Provincial Park is a provincial park located in Alberta, Canada.
This was the first provincial park established in Alberta (in 1932). The parkland reserve and recreational area contains sand beaches on the southern shores of Gull Lake, which is suitable for swimming and paddling due to its warm shallow waters.
The park is located 17km west of Lacombe on highway 12, a short drive off highway2.
