Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park

Beautiful with lot's of green space and picnic spot. You may need to book ahead to use these picnic shelters. Many people use this park for birthday celebration and other types of celebration. You can also get a close view of the river if you walk through the nearby foot trails. Parking can be difficult on a busy day at the park otherwise, there are many free parking spots on a quite day. Temporary restroom are on site. It's also a great spot to visit in winter as you get a chance to see the frozen river.

Beautiful park near the Edmonton Zoo. Easy access with lots of walking biking trails. Picnic sites can be reserved for gatherings. Excellent location for bbq with friends and family. We recently checked out the Silver Skate Festival and saw some cool snow sculptures.

2024. There's lots of access down to the river's edge. Public washrooms are available and seem fairly accessible. Free parking. Many BBQ pits for big groups and lots of picnic tables which you can reserve. Large, open areas, shady seating areas, with a nice playground tucked away in a cool, shaded spot. So many huge, old, wise trees to hug. Well kept paths with comfortable lookouts over the beautiful North Saskatchewan river. Lots of happy dogs playing in the water. Boat launch available. It's a comfortable stroll over the Buena Vista footbridge to Hawrelak Park (currently closed), then further on, some medium challenging slopes around the golf course to Emily Murphy Park, which also has public washrooms. Except for one short, steep dip, E-bikes would be fun, an E-scoot might be more of a challenge on the riverside pathway.

This park is great. Lots of walking trails, picnic tables, benches, fire pits. Plenty of space to play all kinds of sports, activities. There is a playground for kids. Sir Wilfred Park is our regular go to in summer time. Excellent place for family and events. Restroom is also available on site. Pets are welcome. I highly recommend this park.

Walking trails, picnic sites, playground 🛝, public washrooms and plenty of parking make this park a beautiful and fantastic outdoor area to be enjoyed by all. The North Saskatchewan River Valley has lots to offer and Sir Wilfred Laurier Park is a gem. Fun for all the family. Added bonus is that it is right next to the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Come for a good time and you won’t be disappointed or bored.
