Emily Murphy Park

This park is absolutely wonderful! It’s a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. The walking trails are beautifully maintained and surrounded by lush greenery, which makes every stroll feel peaceful and refreshing. There are plenty of benches and picnic areas where you can sit and take in the scenery, and the open spaces are great for kids to run around and play. What really stands out is how clean and well-kept the entire park is — you can tell the staff and visitors really care about keeping it beautiful. There’s also a playground, which is perfect for families with young children, and lots of shady spots for a quiet moment with a book or just to watch the world go by. It’s an amazing place to visit any time of year — whether it’s sunny and warm or covered in a blanket of snow, it always feels magical. Highly recommend spending some time here if you’re looking for a peaceful escape in the middle of the city!

Excellent place for outdoor activities. Particularly with kids whole Family can play and enjoy. There are lots of BBQ bars that can be use for Summer sizzling. Park is well maintained and grass is lush green. Parking area needs little bit attention. Otherwise great park in the university neighborhood.

This is a smallish park in the river valley. It celebrates Emily Murphy (along with others) who challenged that women were not considered persons under the British North America Act. That part of the Act was amended to mean women ARE persons under the act thanks to her efforts. In any case, the Park isn't very big and is just down from the U of A and is very accessible. There are washrooms, picnic tables and bbq for anyone to use. The trails run along the river and through the park and there were quite a few joggers, walkers and hikers using them. It's fairly quiet although you can here the city sounds impinging on the peace somewhat. If you're in the area by the university and need some time out of traffic and bustle come pay Emily Murphy a visit to restore your calm.

Beautiful accessible area. Plenty of trails and amazing nature to experience. Trails leading towards U of A from here have one area that is not very accessible friendly, I have it in the photographs. Weird incline that can be a bit muddy but other than that 20m-50m stretch it's lovely and nice and easy to manage.

We love this park! Depending on the weather we go for daily walks to different parks and so far this park is top of the list. It is a real gem with a trail right along the river, well designed and maintained, but with a hint of untouched nature along the path. We noticed many larger trees are protected with metal fence against what we assume must be beavers. A big drawback which applies to all Edmonton parks: bicycles that zoom at high speed so you need to have eyes in the back of your head. But in the winter the bikes are stored, hurray!
