This Playground in Warehouse Park Opens this Fall/Winter
Downtown Edmonton just finished a fresh new look, turning a parking lot into a playground, a gathering place, a long style picnic table on top of a checkered blanket pattern. There’s an incredible playground, a northern lights feature surrounding the space with hanging swings, and even a toboggan hill.
Warehouse Park will be open this fall, and looks to be nearly finished. Stat tuned for the grand opening celebration in Edmonton.
Warehouse Park
The Warehouse Park will cover 1.81 hectares (6.106 acres or around 4 and a half NFL football fields) between 106 Street and 108 Street and Jasper Avenue to 102 Avenue.
The vision for this park is an urban oasis and an inclusive, multi-use green space featuring large, open areas that invite citizens and visitors to reflect and explore. This park will serve as a major public amenity for downtown residents, workers and visitors as the downtown population is expected to significantly increase in the next decade. The design of 106 Street from Jasper Avenue to 102 Avenue will be integrated into the scope of work for Warehouse Park.
What can you expect to find in the park?
Design features include a green lawn with a hill that can be used for tobogganing in the winter, an off-leash dog park, a basketball court, an exercise area, a playground and a gathering space with fire pits and seating outside the pavilion.
