Government House Park

I ride my bike through there twice daily. Both to and from work. I always have to stop to gaze upon the amazingly beautiful architecture and overall serenity of the place. It never ceases to amaze and bewilder me in all its splendour. The Asian peoples truly are master craftspeople, clean crisp lines, bright bold colours. I will never tire of seeing this. Thank you.

Government House Park – a great little inner-city spot right by the River Valley. Perfect for a picnic. They’ve got rotating little fire pits, plenty of benches, and what some people call the “crazy tree” (kids love to crawl all over that little structure). Our neighbours were a few families having pizza, while we cooked a couple of hot dogs and then lay back on the blanket staring at our little fire. What a nice slice of heaven in the downtown city core—you can even see the skyline in the distance, and you don’t notice the traffic noise going by. Just another civic treat. Thank you, Edmonton.

The new look is really welcoming, families will enjoy this park

People could enjoy the view of North Saskatchewan River Valley here. Some were biking, walking or picnicking, and it felt quite pleasant. I would like to mention that the scenery and vibe were really nice. However, it seemed there was a sewage drain nearby, which caused an unpleasant smell that day.
