A new park in the river valley is set to open to the public with an event on September 24.
Previously known as Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch North, it’s located directly north of the North Saskatchewan River and east of Anthony Henday Drive at 903 153 Ave N.E.
The name, Northeast River Valley Park, will remain until a name is chosen following public engagement. The park was acquired in May and is 190 acres, which is slightly larger than Hawrelak Park.
Opening day will feature an open house at the park’s event centre, a story walk by Edmonton Public Library, a city tradeshow and food trucks.
City crews performed inspections and other maintenance work to prepare the park for public use. It was scheduled to open in August, but the city said it was delayed due to some outdoor preparations until the end of migratory bird nesting season.
