The City of Edmonton has identified the playground at Allin Park for replacement.
The project is currently in the early stages of planning and design. Information about the project as it progresses – including information about public engagement opportunities and schedule information – can be found at edmonton.ca/PlaygroundRenewal. At this time, the project is planned for construction in 2025.
From now until June 23, the city is gathering feedback through an online survey.
If you are interested in learning more about the project and providing your thoughts on the future design of the playground, please complete the survey. If you know someone you think would like to participate, please share this information with them.

An event from our friends at the Stony Plain Road Business Association:
Sept 16th – 26th 2021
“SPR Emerge is a community engagement project that aims to increase pedestrian traffic and enhance the image along Stony Plain Road. The event has two parts: one is the installation of vinyl art onto the windows of businesses in the SPR area, and the other is the display of original, 2D artwork at a vacant storefront. Both the vinyl art and the 2D art were created by local emerging artists of Edmonton. At the vacant storefront, the pieces that are displayed all portray a certain relation to the SPR area and how it is emerging as a business and shopping center.”
It’s been a hot summer, and a research team from the University of Alberta is looking for some information on how residents have noticed changes in the urban heat island effect. More info is below:
Description: We, the Urban Environment Observatory research team at the University of Alberta, are looking at how the urban heat island (UHI) effect has changed in Edmonton’s neighbourhoods over the last few years. This research is funded by the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation partnering with the City of Edmonton. Through this research, we are trying to understand resident’s perception and experience of the UHI effect and their mitigation and adaptation behaviours. So your input is invaluable in achieving the success of the study.” Please fill out the survey using the link below:
