Emily Murphy Park is located on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River between Kinsmen Park and Hawrelak Park. The park is named after one of Edmonton's most famous citizens, women's activist Emily Murphy. Park amenities include picnic sites, a playground, boat launch and in the winter a beloved toboggan hill. Another noteworthy feature is the Forest Capital Trail that connects Kinsmen Park to Emily Murphy Park.
