Put a ballpark there, it would drive out the homeless

Kousik Ramachandran

Lovely place in any season of year

It was calming and relaxing .

Dakota Keshane

Was visiting and got this Panorama around June 1st. Its a really nice park to walk

Laura Hill

Paths are not connected due to construction. Lots of garbage and fencing around. Close to the homeless shelter so take care.

Patrick Tso

The tranquil Chinese Garden tucked away to the east end of the open grassed lawn just east of the parking lot is a beautiful sight to behold. A true hidden jam in Edmonton but well known for photographers and for wedding photo shots.

Lis Marie

Beautiful area! It’s huge and very accessible. The only thing is to park nearby it is free but does have a 2 hour limit and the parking area isn’t too big so it’s best to come early. Tons of trails and so much to explore!

Kehinde Nariwo

A very beautiful and quiet place. Amazing view from there.

Aurelia Paula M

A great park for everyone from young kids to dog owners. I really enjoyed jogging here even in November.

Duke Courtoreille

excellent place to enjoy nature among big city noise and jostling ppl...love to sit and listen to river noises and the animals..

Lisa O

Really messy down there. The main little Lookout is so nice but when you enter the trails... let's just say I turned around and went somewhere else.

Stefanie W

Beautiful area. But still tons of construction after how long. Would be nicer without all the metal fences everywhere etc.

BRIAN FONTAINE

Guy Gilbert

When my ex came here to study as a postdoctoral fellow, I often came here to hang out by myself. Sometimes I came out at night to take pictures of car scenes. Even the night view of the city center on the other side of the river was photographed, and the reflection of the river water was in sharp contrast. The overall feeling of this place is that there are very few tourists, but there are still many places to play, Including this sightseeing yacht.

Marcelo Gonzalez

Nice view, good construction , but no shadows and it's incomplete

Василь

Really nice Chinese place. Looks like there should be a castle or a mansion or at least it is a city gate. There is a small lawn nearby where you can spend some time to rest.

James Gully007

Beautiful park. Stunning views. Scenic Chinese garden. Nice paths. Lots of people walking and just enjoying a beautiful part of the river valley.

Neil Crouse

Riding my scooter by the riverfront and loving it

Alexander Djogovic

Lovely park to observe Edmonton’s finest sights.

Matt Clarke

Very nice parkland by the river to walk or cycle around

Jennifer Lynn

A great place to walk down the trails - stairs are optional as there is always a pathway around (very bike friendly).

Afeez Atiku

Very wonderful park with so much shades for the sun.

Mariah McGregor

Sometimes sketchy people hang out here. But it's very beautiful.

Adil Traim

Beautiful park

D. W.

This park has some hidden gems and once all the construction is done will be a great River Valley destination again

Gurpreet Singh

Good place with soothing river view. Right now a part of the park is inaccessible due to construction also it is somewhat noisy there due to machinery and dumpers, but that is temporary and will most probably become more beautiful within few months.

Clayton Bilk

Great city venue with a lot more than a simple look. Two great event now been held their in a year. Can’t wait to see the many more to come.

Peiran Yao

Good place to take a walk and watch wildlife. Some paths are closed or messy due to the construction of the Tawatinâ Bridge.

Ravi Kant Sharma

If you love greens, water, open skies and solitude: BE HERE Keep good cool 2 hours at least, to soak in the ambiance and openness of the place, scenery with river in background and picturesque buildings of Hotel McDonald and Court Yard by Marriott on fore. Enjoy the slow glide from top of hill to middle and the drop off by elevator to bottom near river Saskatchewan, so serene and sober in flow and glow in afternoon sun(when I caught it) Juice up ur cell phone and be sure to clean the lens, other wise you will miss lot of clear-n-nice opportunities to click some of wonderful shots. Dare to go down a bit on un treaded path down to N. Saskatchewan river, to be lap of Mother Nature. Sing along, alone and aloud if u wish!! I did it, you will enjoy ????, I bet! Have fun, and if you feel gud please like the review❤️

Amarie Zevahc

Nice place to unwind

Rumana Afroz Sultana

Great for evening walk.

Aman kumar

Recall a great place to be. We were actually headed to the accidental beach but this park caught us for the evening and it has a decent sitting space by the stairs and also a beautiful viewpoint ledge from where you can get a good view of the city on the other side of the river and see the downtown buildings on your back rising up so high. After the viewpoint we had a walk along the Greenery surrounded essay in the park alongside the river and it was really nice. It has washrooms too so no problems whatsoever!!

B C

One of the most beautiful parks in the world .

Daniel Blais

This is such a beautiful place to for family’s to come and enjoy time together. There is so much to see here and amazing details wherever you look. Take some time to really appreciate everything that is going on around here. I can’t wait for summer to come back so we can come back for a picnic and enjoy it all over again.

Kirk Dewhurst

Great riverside park with a beautiful walk right beside the river. There is a Chinese garden area. Free parking spots. It is easily accessible from downtown by way of the Funicular even if you are in a wheelchair. There are public washrooms available. You can rent Segways and bicycles for rent at River Valley Adventures Overall it is a nice park right close to downtown with lots of walking paths and great views. We come here often and always enjoy it. You might even see a Garter snake

Pat Jackson

It is easily accessible, with elevators for those that need them. The views of the N. Saskatchewan River Valley are great. The Chinese themed park has buildings, statues and other features that reflect the large contributions of the Chinese workers and settlers from Edmontons beginnings to the present day. There are parking lots in the valley, or it can be accessed from the top by trails in the area of 97 St. and Jasper Ave.

Chrissy Pon

Area has been upgraded, pretty nice for walking, free parking, still waiting to try out the new dock

Randy Parker

Looks like a good place for walking dogs having lunch

Eyzel Cleofas

This place is what you're looking for if you plan to go strolling around downtown to experince nature and enjoy the view of the beautiful North Saskatchewan River.

Bryan B

Fantastic park. Great views, great fun. Lots to do. Highly recommended.

Terence Onyshko

Such a beautiful park. I'm part of a fellowship with the NA group and we have meetings lately on the pad there where it just provides the best environment ever.

Josiah Kinshella

Beautiful place to go for a run/ride/walk. Or do some cross country skiing

Adam Mitchell

Awesome entry point into Edmonton’s river valley. Walk down the steps of the convention centre, or take the funicular. Louise McKinney Park plays host to events, festivals, and major attractions year round.

Bridget Leblanc

The most beautiful place in the city.. My kids and I love it.

Ryan Groten

Nice quiet park by the river, not usually very many people here.

Carmen

Selena Atwell

Quite a beautiful park

Colin Penner

It's a very nice trail for an afternoon walk. The sun may be a little bit annoying if walking to the west.

Mary Bond

Lovely spot lots of parking.

celi Emmanuel

Very beautiful. Beautiful sitting , trails and river. Except the washrooms. There should be more washrooms built especially for physically challenged. Should have key system. Need a security 24/7.

Kev P

Beautiful peaceful place to relax and hangout.

Kory Hamilton

Great place to relax and have a morning coffee or an evening tea.

Vickianne

Beautiful place to sit and knit. Lovely walking paths.

NERO Shepherd

This park is part of Edmonton's river valley trail and is truly a hidden gem. It is not far from the Frederick G. Todd lookout and the 100 Street Funicular. There is also a lovely Chinese Garden located there.

Priyanka Mohan

Nice riverfront park..

SR J

Always a nice park and access to some of the trails.

Scott Killen

Beautiful view of the river. Nice trails. Little store with segway rentals and public washrooms. Don't forget your mask for the bathroom though.

Boris Boykiw

A beautiful part of the river valley for a leisurely walk. Head west and try the funicular and get up to the Hotel Macdonald.

Douglas Thorlakson

Always beautiful but the bridge construction temporarily impacts travel along river bank. Be prepared for stairs to get to the detour north of the park.

Jan

My dream started from here!

Gunnar Blodgett

Great to see poetry still on the light poles. Nice place for al fresco lunch; much quieter than other Edmonton parks on a sunny Sunday.

Simone Lee

Nice place for a quick walk after a long work day in the city, especially this time of the year. 4 stars because it does not have public washroom.

Abeeku Kilson

Very neat area in the city. It's a fun place.

Kate Macaroni

Gorgeous little park area at the river front. There are plenty of benches to sit on and there is a lot of area to be socially distant. One of my favorite places to enjoy the scenery.

Calvin Allers

Great place for a stroll or bike ride!

Jason Herron
