To ensure all Edmontonians have safe access to green space, the City of Edmonton is building a district park in Heritage Valley.

Project Update - June 2025

Planning and design for the next stage of the Heritage Valley District Park Project is set to get underway.

Public engagement was completed in 2020 and funding was approved during the 2023-2026 capital budget cycle. The City is now able to complete the planning and design of the following amenities:

  • Hard court surfaces complete with fencing to support a combination of tennis and pickleball
  • Picnic sites complete with waste receptacles
  • A shade structure complete with a concrete pad
  • Landscaping between the amenities

See the amenities and location for this project here.

At this time, there is no funding to advance detailed design or to proceed with construction.  The project will advance design such that it could be considered as part of the 2027-2030 capital budget.

A What We Heard report was developed following public engagement in 2020.

Project Overview

The City is currently in the build phase for the Heritage Valley District Park which will support the growing Heritage Valley area. It will be home to two high schools, a community centre, multiple sports fields, and a variety of open space amenities to serve the area.

Through a series of public engagement opportunities, the City gathered input from residents and property owners, the public and Catholic school boards, community leagues, sports groups and organizations. The feedback gathered, along with City policies and technical requirements, was used to develop a final design.

Construction was to begin in summer 2021. A delay in securing a contractor due to funding constraints resulted in execution of only critical scope of the work in 2021, and rescheduling remaining work moved to 2022.
