Unfortunately due to the current COVID-19 conditions, the decision has been made to postpone the park celebration until spring of 2022.

We hope you will still visit the park and check out the new seating, landscaping and fitness features, and we'll see you in the spring of 2022!

celebration postponed

Unfortunately the skatepark will need to be closed during construction work on the rest of the park, as per the City of Edmonton  construction notice CoE park may 2021

 

We are delighted to report that construction on the next phase of the park is scheduled for 2021.

Currently the Capilano skatepark is the only amenity in the park. Features being added in 2021 reflect what we heard from you.

Some of the new amenities will include:
- A paved walking loop to connect all the features of the park and allow accessibility for all ages and abilities.
- Adult/youth fitness equipment in fitness pods along the walkway. The equipment will be multipurpose pieces that focus on balance and strength.
- Benches with arms to improve accessibility for sitting down and getting up, especially for those who are elderly or with mobility issues. Most of the benches are placed in groupings of two or more to make it easier to chat with your neighbor.
- Tables for seating and to enjoy picnics in the park.
- A half-basketball court.
- Shade elements include shade trees and a shade structure.
Note: The community also asked for native planting and edible plantings and the plan is for future naturalized plantings along the north edge of the park. We will be working with Root for Trees to add native plants and edible plants in this area by community planting projects; however, the planting can only begin after a one to two-year period during which the area is undisturbed. This future planting area will be fenced off once construction begins on the rest of the park.

There are lots of things happening in our neighbourhoods these days, such as infill, LRT development, potential changes to transit routes, community park development, and lots of community events and activities, to name a few. Often these changes or activities will affect multiple neighbourhoods. The South East Community Leagues Association (SECLA) is a non-profit community league area council with members from eleven leagues. SECLA is taking a look at how we can represent our neighbourhoods (from Avonmore to Capilano, see map for more info) in a meaningful way. We'd we’d love your help! Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey and let us know what’s important to you. Please complete the SECLA survey to share your ideas with us before September 20, 2018.
