Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School

Introduction to Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School Playground

Bright, busy, and better than it looks from the road. This Glenridding Heights schoolyard is one of the most colourful playgrounds in southwest Edmonton, and the design earns the paint job — a real climbing circuit for older kids, a train that pulls in every age group, and enough small extras scattered around to stretch a quick stop into an afternoon.

What sets it apart is the range. Big kids get climbing and agility challenges. Toddlers get a train to conduct, a bug to bounce on, and music to make. And the paved areas around the play space mean bikes, scooters, and striders are all fair game — bring wheels and you'll double your visit.

Playground Features

  • Train play feature that works for toddlers and big kids alike

  • Climbing and agility structure with multiple routes for school-age kids

Practical Info for Visiting

  • There are no washrooms on site
