Check out any part in this area. This is a beautiful and cute, one-of-a-kind neighbourhood lined with nice old-style houses and buildings, some refurbished and is home to a lot of infills, which means a lot of modern homes are being built. They come in funky styles and clash interestingly with the older structures. Great for someone interested in design because there are some really beautiful houses. Nice quiet walk.
Hawrelak Park
Once home to a gravel pit, now a jewel in the city's park system. Home of festivals and concerts in the summer, and the ice castles in winter, Hawrelak Park is a hub of outdoor activities, with trails along the forested riverbanks and plenty of open green space. The large pond freezes over in the winter for skating (rentals $), and a secondary ice surface is maintained for shinny hockey.
Historic house museum, once belonging to the first premier of Alberta, located on the University of Alberta main campus.
This botanical garden is housed in four glass pyramids near Gallagher Park. A welcome respite from the cold in winter and a nice escape from the everyday anytime. As of August 2022, the Conservatory continues to require that tickets and visit time slots be purchased ahead of time through its website. This is intended to avoid overcrowding, especially given continuing COVID-19 concerns.
A beautiful park near the Muttart. It is nice for a picnic and nice clean-cut grass and offers fabulous views of downtown.
The riverboat cruises up and down a small stretch of the North Saskatchewan River near the city centre. Under a new owner as of 2018, Edmontonians are hoping that the dinner and brunch cruises have improved.
