    This building was built in the 1980s and includes some great space for use by various groups. My…read moreKiwanis club rents the upstairs lounge once a year to host the Buy Nothing Day Free Market in November for example. A pottery group rents the hall upstairs for their events. Helen is the wonderful woman who takes care of the building and she is wonderful. If she's unavailable or has to step out she'll leave contact information for someone more local to the hall in case you need anything. Helen is good at making sure that snow is cleared from walkways etc. as best as can be as quickly as possible given a major snowstorm. The hall is a little bit difficult to access if you're unfamiliar with it, but it has ample free parking, is close to transit and major roadways and is within walking distance of many facilities in the Old Strathcona area. I'm really fond of some of the more recent upgrades to the upstairs lounge: the improved lighting makes it much more of a wonderful area to host events, for example.

    This building reminds me of Boston. Big, old, red brick. Exactly how the Community League in…read moreStrathcona should be! I was here attending/helping at an under 40 mixer event in the big room upstairs. It's got wooden floors and mirrors across one wall, so I think it must be used for exercise classes and things of that nature, too. I'm sure there's much more to explore in this big ol' building since it's HUGE. Gotta give props to its sweet location, plenty of parking, and the playground nearby. The perfect family-friendly place for this neighbourhood.

    This is a lovely park that feels out of the way if you're coming from Parkdale, because of the way…read moreit's tucked under an industrial area. 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.

    The park itself is nice. Lots of space so everyone can have room to themselves. Worst part of the…read morepark is the pool. Very unorganized, you have to get up and leave at the end of every session, there's no clear instructions as to how you line up. A big mix of people who booked a spot and drop-in swimmers but no way to efficiently sort them. So it's slow for people who have a spot booked, and frustrating standing in line.
