Festival on the Avenue

The diversity of the eight neighbourhoods surrounding the stretch of 118 Ave now commonly referred to as The Ave make for a wonderful and interesting community that really seems to focus on connection.

The neighbourhoods of Alberta Avenue (formerly known as Norwood) and Eastwood are some of the oldest in the city, with development beginning in 1894 and 1906 respectively. Their mature tree-lined boulevards and majestic 2 and 3 storey turn of the century houses are a gift in an area so conveniently located to downtown.

Both Alberta Ave and Eastwood residents like their green space and parks and Eastwood’s spray deck is a constant winner with area kids in the summer. Along with quaint local shops, the area is home to a strong arts community with festivals held throughout the year.

The area of Elmwood Park started life in 1945 as land developed under the Veteran’s Land Act for use by discharged military personal. Today the area is known for its beautiful yards and friendly neighbours, as well as its straw built eco friendly community league building, playground, spray deck and gazebo all found in the shade of beautiful, mature elm trees.

The Parkdale and Cromdale neighbourhoods became an amalgamated Community League in 1986 to share their resources of buildings and people. One of the highlights of the area is the ease of access to the trails of the beautiful River Valley and Kinnaird Ravine where you can enjoy the KinnArt Ravine Walk made up of murals created by residents and organization from the area.

In 1961, after years of discussion, the residents of North Delton established their own community league, and a rink and hall were built at Delton Park in 1962. Delton has an active sports scene with soccer all year round and hockey in the winter. To this end they built a spectacular regulation-size rink, worthy of the NHL itself.

Spruce Avenue is also a community that loves activity and boasts some of the nicest ice in the city on its rink built for hockey and curling. At the heart of the community is an expansive green space boasting a playground with climbing rocks, spray deck, walking trails, plaza and sports fields.

Westwood community is home to Beechmount Cemetery, Edmonton’s first municipal cemetery opened in 1914, which makes for a lovely place to walk in all seasons. The community is also known for its great ornamental fountain and complementary spray deck for those hot summer days as well as skating at the indoor Westwood Arena all winter long.

Our Avenue communities are some of the hidden jewels in Edmonton’s crown. History combines with modern, beauty with everyday, and nature with urban sprawl —- in the outer inner city we have it all. Take a walk in the neighbourhood and see for yourself! Enjoy!

The Benefits of WalkingWalking… a healthy journey!Ranked the number one activity of choice among Canadians, walking is a prescription for improved health and wellness. Walk briskly for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and minimize your risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Additional benefits include weight management, blood pressure control and boosting good cholesterol (HDLs).

Other benefits of walking:

• Releases the body’s tension and stress.

• Refreshes the mind and body, especially when walking outdoors.

• Allows you to connect with your community.

• Offers an excellent way to socialize with family and/or friends.

• Increases “eyes on the street”, enhancing community safety.

Walking with your Dog Edmonton has over 40 locations where you can enjoy your walk while your dog is off-leash. Please remember that all sites where dogs are permitted to be off-leash are multi-use areas used by all. Your dog must be leashed when not in a designated off-leash area. The dog icons shown on this map are placed in the approximate location of each off-leash area, but do not show the precise boundaries. For more information, including details on off-leash boundaries, check the Parks for Paws Brochure or go to edmonton.ca (keyword off-leash)

There are 1,440 minutes in a day, schedule 30 of them for walking! Printed 2015
