Things to See
The Government House Park is located in the heart of downtown Edmonton. Park uses are within walking distance to the Provincial Museum of Alberta, Government House Park, Emily Murphy and the infamous Hawrelak Park. Park users can enjoy a walk in the park or watch an action sport such as dragon boating. Edmonton Dragonboat Festival attracts over 5,000 spectators and 1,500 participants annually.
Things to Do
Many park users will utilize the park for cycling, running, walking and in-line skating excursions along the beautiful North Saskatchewan River during the warm season. During the winter the City of Edmonton maintains toboggan hills at several locations with safe run-outs, safety signs and reduced hazards. Feel the urge to soar down a snow-covered hill and feel the brisk wind nip your cheeks? Grab your sled and enjoy a fun filled day with the kid’s.
Who to Call
The City of Edmonton owns and manages the park, group and picnic bookings. Patrons can contact the city for further information on hours of operation, group bookings, and program registrations. Go ahead and enjoy a day at the park!
