Great trees around to run in and the park is filled with squishy tires instead of sand. It's a great place to play and if you get bored, there's another playground across the street! The community league itself has been renovated and looks amazing outsides the landscaping is gorgeous. Lots of events through the year as well.

LOVED loved LOVED - Did I mention LOVED?!? this park!…read more We ventured out to this community league park containing two playgrounds, fields, outdoor ice rink, and spray park for the day last week for a Mommy kiddo group play date. Little community league spray parks like this are a real gem! With playground equipment designed for toddlers and bigger kids AND a section of swings, this community league has got it all. There is a green shack here in the summer but I think the hours were 230-6PM Monday through Friday so we just missed them opening. Back behind the grassy knoll were great hills that just begged for bike riding fun or sledding in the winter! The park is fenced off with a couple entrances/exits but I REALLY appreciate limtied entries and exits when watching multiple kiddos 5 & under at a park! The water portion was small in comparison to the spray and splash parks listed on the city of Edmonton website but this is still a total gem! There was more than enough water features to keep the approximately 30 kids in the water entertained and the sandy toddler area also had toddler height sand/water tables for more fun play! There were washrooms available for our use and the Ottewell Community League playschool was also on site today. Man... If I lilved here, I would most DEFINITELY be having my kiddo's next birthday party here! There is a fairly large covered area with multiple picnic tables and quite a few shady spots and benches around the park. This particular visit was rather humorous because I had to rescue some screaming kidlets from squishing and stepping on poo that some kid left on the ground - YUCK! Thankfully, the washrooms came in handy so I could grab some paper towels and clean it up best I could for the kidlets! If you have toddler or little kids, then this park is worth the drive from anywhere around Edmonton! Or if you are shopping for a place to move and raise kids and want to be near Capillano, this may be just the neighbourhood for you!

Ottewell Community League hall and park are amazing. We live only a few blocks away so it's easy to…read morecome here any time of day. People come from all other neighbourhoods to enjoy the park and spray park. There is a great Green Shack program for the older kids through out the summer. And through the winter the full size skating rink is amazing with a full size locker room for changing comfortably. It's always clean and there are great things for the kids to play with young and old. It's also a busy little Hall for events and bookings. With seating capacity up to 120, there is a electric fire place and a projector with a screen for all this slide shows. The best thing about the hall is the huge chef's kitchen. Tons of room with all the bells and whistles for catering your own events. It also has a nice bar with a huge fridge and serving area for that professional touch. Did I mention the commercial Ice Maker? Yeah one of those too! The rental rates are fantastic and even better if you a community league member!

This place is so cute. Nestled in the heart of Cloverdale by Edmonton Ski Club and the Muttart…read moreConservatory is Cloverdale Community League. A friend of mine lives in this neighbourhood and invited me to bring my family along to an Easter Egg Hunt, being hosted by the Community League. No need to register, just wander around the play park gather at least 5 eggs then bring them back to swap for Easter chocolate. There were kids doing outdoor zumba to burn off all that chocolate too. It was very community orientated and such a lovely place to take little kids. The park itself is awesome, we went back yesterday to play basketball with our daughter although she was more interested in the climbing frame and the slides. The climbing frame is actually really cool and has a little stage to perform, if your kids are into that and a mp of Canada to make sure they know whih province they are in. Very educational and quiet!! There slightly bigger play area, basketball net, BBQ, covered seating and a spray park in summer too. It's got it all really, if you have a young family and want to hang out at a park that's not overflowing with kids... this is it!

This was the venue for the Zumba party so I haven't been here for a dinner type event. There was…read morelots of parking so no issues there. Walking in the front doors, there's a foyer area with a few tables set up for registration. There was a couch there too. The water fountain and washrooms were just down the hall. The washroom was clean and had 5 or 6 stalls. The venue was very large and there was room between us for dancing. The stage was great as we could see the instructors, even being farther back and lots of people could fit on the stage too. With the lights dimmed, it was fun to have the glow and dark effect. The theme was 80s so the neon colours really stood out. They had a few chairs on the side and lots of space to put our belongings. It was a fun event and a great venue for it.

The food was disgusting, the patio was off limits and not open to the public, and if you want to get lunch the clubhouse has been moved to a dark dungy hole with two small windows. Won't be going back there anytime soon.

The booking process is very easy, and they are flexible with the menu. They can prepare a menu for you, or you can order of their kitchen menu if it's during the golf season.

When we booked the Inglewood Community League for our wedding reception do-over (after being…read morecovid-cancelled in 2020), we honestly picked it because it was in a convenient location, the right size and affordable. However, after our experience I can say that I highly recommend it as an event venue. The hall itself isn't fancy by any means but it is a great blank slate to add your personal touches. Once we had the linens and decor set up, it completely transformed the room. It also has a spacious bar/kitchen area which is perfect if your caterers need a place to heat things up. There is also a movable stage and enough round tables to seat more than 100 guests. The hall manager was amazing to work with. She was great at communicating everything we needed to know and made sure the stage and tables were set up for us the day of. I can't recommend this venue enough if you're on a budget and just need a nice space to host your event.

Well, what can I say about Strathcona County hall? Most of my experience has been of the County…read moreCouncil meetings and they are interesting, to say the least. Lets start with the room and decor. The room is set up in a theatre half round with portable chairs sitting on tiered steps - kind of like a half round Roman coliseum. This seating arrangement provides a good sightline for all in attendance. The chairs are not the most comfortable, but I have certainly experienced worse. In airport waiting areas. Two big screens behind the Council members projects motions and presentations as they arise. The motions are sometimes so small as to be almost unreadable. I think whoever prepares them should consider using a minimum font size of 24. The council seats are flanked with an impressive array of flags to give it a properly ceremonial feel. The press area is located at the back of the room and has a ledge that enables media to sit with their laptops and plug them in. This would be something that might be considered for others in attendance. It is not just the press who bring their laptops or other technology to council meetings. Now, for the show. You definitely get your money's worth at these events. Admittance is free and the shows run every second Tuesday starting at 2 pm. They are quite long and will sometimes go until 8 or 9 at night. The players are 9 councillors, including the mayor. It is often easy to see the tension amongst the players as they jockey for position as the "top dog" or at least the "not bottom" dog on any given event. Witty barbs and not so clever snipes are often heard as the participants heat up on topics such as snow removal, art gallery guidelines and development plans. I think that maybe the crew could be provided a bit more direction as they seem to run amok at times. There are often guest appearances from various committee members and residents. These are often the pleasant parts of the show as all participants spend much time patting each other on the back. When administration guest stars, it is often a different thing. This is when the drama really heats up and the audience is often on the edge of their seats. Will the Mayor berate and argue with what is presented? Will Council find problems with the information they are given? Will administration show their true feelings or cover it behind tight smiles? The highest drama occurs when administration presents to Council and some members of council begin to disagree with the information while others don't. This is when you really want to get your popcorn out and settle in for a great show! When this happens, it is usually followed by a break that is called by the Mayor. This will give you just enough time for a washroom break or a quick run for a latte at the library coffee shop. Although I wouldn't recommend bringing small children or those easily offended, it is still good entertainment for your money.

This park is in the river valley close to the Fort Edmonton park area. It's a really awesome spot…read morebecause there are picnic areas with bbqs, ample parking, shaded trees, and public bathrooms!! We went to use the stairs for some exercise and boy was it every nice! The sun was shining, the kids were hopped up on sugar from our outing to the D Spot Cafe, and it was a great afternoon spent here. We did the stairs which are straight up with quite a few landing areas and even some benches on some of the landings. They have a hill where you can toboggan in winter as well. There was a cute bridge and lots of walking paths in this area too if stairs are not your thing. But highly recommend this park and there are bathrooms which is important when you have littles, and it's wide open so easy to keep an eye on them as well.
