Hawrelak Park reopening to the public in March after extensive rehabilitation

The large park in the North Saskatchewan River Valley has been closed since 2023 for an above and underground overhaul but in March, Edmontonians will be able to use it again.

I’ve started a photo project for 2026! Inspired by the numerous sets of #RiverValley stairs in the City of #Edmonton, I'll be photographing some of them, sharing their story as I’ve experienced them, in the nearly 25 years I’ve lived here.

First up:

Perfect day to celebrate the opening of a new park!

Not being facetious, either, we're a winter city and I'm glad we're taking that to mean "we can still do stuff outside in winter*" as opposed to the "we must hunker down inside until it blows over" strategy we've maintained up until recently.

*Including biking, which is why I wanted some visibility at the event!

Congrats to everyone who made the new O-day'min Park a reality!

There's a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday, November 7 at 12:30 pm at the pavilion on 107 Street (got asked to leave before I could get a photo of it πŸ˜…).

(If any #yegBike folks are able to be there, it might be good to make ourselves visible to media photos and videos and such.)

Then there's a bigger, more public grand opening ceremony from 5:30 - 8:00pm, and more events planned until November 16.

They started taking the fences down around the new Warehouse Park in #yegDT, but security is apparently supposed to be keeping people out still for now.

They, uhh, didn't do a great job until I got halfway around. πŸ˜…

This was gifted to me by the YouTube algorithm today, and what a delight! Edmonton's beloved River Valley, showcased in the way it deserves!

Even as someone who has lived here over 20 years (and walking distance from the RiverValley for most of it), I didn't know some of these details. Worth a watch.

I was bored and went outside to touch some grass. I wanted to get some pictures before all the leaves fell.
