REAL washrooms that are pretty darn clean most of the time, a water fountain, lots of lush grass, playground equipment good from toddler to big kid, and super close to the Sturgeon River and City Hall.

I've been exploring a few different trails in Edmonton and this one is the closest to my house, so it's super convenient to walk at any time of the day. The trail goes along the top of the hill at Forest Heights and gives a great view of the city skyline, we actually watched the Canada Day fireworks from here and it was the perfect spot if you don't want to go all the way downtown. The path then takes a dip and you follow the road down to 98 Avenue and the Cloverdale area. Along the way, there are paths off to the side to take you down to the water or up to the main road. It looks like lots of keen cyclists use this path as they have created some cool additional trails with their tracks. You are quite secluded as the trees on either side completely hide the walkway from the main road. There are picnic tables and benches to stop and rest along the way too. Once at the bottom you are in Cloverdale and come to Central River Valley Park which appears well maintained and has a statue of George Francis Hustler. Nice spot for a rest, or continue on to Henrietta Muir Edwards Park. Or like me, turn back and tackle the hill back up! This walk has a mixture of couples out a stroll, keen runners, cyclists and even older ladies out to keep fit. I wouldn't take a little kid on this trail as it is very steep in parts.

It's recently been redone, so everything is in great condition. It's got a lot of pathways lined with plants and grassy areas to wander around. While I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a sculpture garden, there are a number of pieces. Since going to art galleries and museums has fallen on a spectrum from impossible to ill-advised, Borden Park's sculptures gave me a chance to see some art while I'm in Edmonton. The centerpiece of Borden Park is the natural swimming pool. Unfortunately, this is closed for the 2020 summer season. More importantly, the washrooms are also closed for the season. If you have a strong bladder and/or are prepared to pop a squat somewhere (there are plenty of trees and bushes for privacy) there are lots of nice picnic areas. You already have hand sanitizer with you, right? There are some very cool looking playground structures, which are open. There are groups of tables of various sizes, some of which are wheelchair accessible, as well as ample grounds for picnics while conforming to social distancing guidelines. There's a save-on-foods on the other side of the parking lot in case you don't want to carry picnic foods from home.

Like some of the other reviewers, 2017 was my first time attending the Deep Freeze festival and I…read morehave to say: I was definitely impressed with what I saw. We were under a bit of a time constraint but somehow managed to pack in some street hockey, curling, ice sculptures, glass blowing, a horse-drawn sleigh ride and pierogis (sooooo good). I can only imagine what we could have done with more time! Festivals like this are the reason I love Edmonton so much. It gives you a reason to look forward to winter and it forces you to go outside, even in -30 weather. Lucky for us, Sunday was bright, sunny, and fairly warm so we didn't have to worry too much about the cold but I definitely recommend bundling up if the weather isn't as nice. You're going to want to spend as much time as possible outside. Of course there are opportunities to pop inside for a bite to eat (again, the pierogis are sooooo good) or to see some live music. I can't wait for next year!

I went to Deep Freeze for the first time this year…read more This is a winter festival, and while there are things that happen inside there are a lot of outside events as well, so be prepared for the weather. If you forgot your toque the festival was selling some, as well as Raising The Roof (a fundraiser for Homeward Trust Edmonton). I really liked this festival. My friends and I went on Saturday when it was the Ukrainian day (they celebrate Francophone culture on the Sunday). The them for the festival was fairies and orgres, which you could see in some of the snow and ice carvings, and the artwork. There were supposed to by fairy doors in the business windows along 118, but I didn't see any, which was kind of sad. It was cool checking out the festival, from the snow scultptures outside to the performances and the art inside the Nina (a gallery I hadn't been to). The festival is free to attend, but they accept donations and if you wanted to get any food that was a purchase as well. We went on the really cold day of the festival, but there are heaters outside and lots of places to warm up. We were sad that we had missed the actually deep freezer races by about 10 minutes. Maybe another year I'll catch that. I love the festivals that Edmonton has and the fact that we continue to have festivals all year long, not just in the summer. Winter isn't my favourite time of year, but it's fun to get out and spend some time outside and check out an awesome festival like Deep Freeze.

Festival city. City of Champions. Home of Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers. West edmonton mall (once…read morethe biggest mall in the world). This is what edmonton is known for. But it is also the most northernmost city in all of Canada. Yes you heard me! We are farthest north for a big city. Being this north means us edmontonians enjoy the beautiful sunshine all year long. Even in the dead of winter...the sun is glaring everywhere during the day. The weather varies constantly. Its common to have sun, rain, wind and hail all on the same day. The weather is unpredictable and changes within the hour. But its great bc we always get a ray of sunshine no matter what. Growing up here this city was always great. There was always something to do because of the fabulous west edmonton mall which houses an indoor waterpark, theme park, several golf courses, 2 movie theaters (used to have 3), a rec room complete with a bowling alley, a bourbon street themed bar/nightclub area, a gun shooting gallery, an indoor marine life sanctuary complete with a lifesize pirate ship, a dolphin turned seal habitat, a flamingo area, and possibly 2 stores of every mall franchised store known. There's even a themed hotel. But the novelty wears off when it's here all the time. But there's plenty more offered here. The best part of edmonton is the fantastic green space. The river valley is one of the longest connected trails in Canada. Seriously if you wanted too you could walk from the east end through downtown to the west end in one shot; due to fabulous trail system. Visitors often comment about how many trees there are randomly everywhere. The valley zoo has recently gotten an upgrade housing seals, elephants and tigers. I heard they are now trying to get polar bears with their new exhibit. The fort edmonton park is a nice walk through alberta history showcasing fabulous events year round like the harvest festival or spooktacular. The muttart conservatory is a photographers dream with flowers and plants themed by each continent in the world. The art gallery houses modern art with a delicious restaurant inside. The royal alberta museum is getting a new space in downtown. The telus world of science has fun exhibits every kid would enjoy; bringing the kid out in almost anyone...seriously who doesn't like ice cream made from scratch in a experiment! Theres even now the renowned ice district in downtown with a world class arena, casino and condo/hotel. Home of the edmonton Oilers we are the city of Champions due to our run in the 80's with Wayne Gretzky, Grant Fuhr, Mark Messier, Paul Coffey and Glenn Anderson. And dont insult the oilers: most edmontonians are extremely passionate about our team. To the point where we rioted the streets for several weeks bc we almost made the playoffs in 2006. It was alot of fun! And did I mention...if you like to gamble there are 7 casinos in the edmonton area!!! If you're not lucky in one, just drive to the next!!! Despite all this. The foodie scene is big here. Some of the restaurants are so innovative and creative here. I've had dishes better here than in the food centers of the world like paris or Los angelas or even Las Vegas. Yup. Food is really good here. And hey we got world renowned bakeries like the duchess here. Food is farm to table, locally sourced with the best beef in the world! Uggh. Beef anywhere else in the world is inedible for me. And if you eat our beef. You will understand this. Kobe beef is good too. But honestly if you get a fresh cut from the butcher...the beef here is out of this world! Highly recomended anywhere! If you plan to visit. Make sure you check out the city of edmonton website for festivals. Churchill square, Whyte avenue, hawerlak park, the expo center and alberta avenue hold festivals year round. Honestly if you wanted too, there's probably a festival every weekend of the year. And in the summer it's every day!!! Do check it out.

I have but fond memories which include: Hanging out at the West Edmonton Mall not really for shopping but playing a pool game or bowling at Red's. Or maybe go clubbing at Rum Jungle. Speaking of clubbing, I remember Whyte Avenue where we used to hop from one bar to another for a night of dancing and drinking. And how can I forget the 5 cents hi balls and shooters during Ladies' Night Out at King's Club? I had to drop off each one of my drunk girlfriends home. Wading at the pool and frolicking by the fountain at city hall and legislative building. Jogging around Millwoods Park and working out at the Millwoods Recreational Center. Attending endless festivals: Heritage Festival at Hawrelak Park, Taste of Edmonton at Churchill Square, Fringe Festival at Stratcona, Caribbean Fest downtown among others.
