Warehouse Park

Main page content begins here

Turning parking lots into paradise! Warehouse Park is a new, signature park coming to the heart of Edmonton in 2025.

Designed for all ages and abilities, the new downtown park will provide space for you to play, be active, relax and gather with friends and neighbours surrounded by green trees and a large open lawn.

Project Update - December 2022

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us during preliminary design engagement for Warehouse Park.

The online survey was open from November 14 - December 4 with in-person and online events and stakeholder meetings occurring throughout that period. Regardless of how you chose to engage, we appreciate everyone who took the time to provide their feedback. A What We Heard Report will be posted in early 2023.

This was the final stage of engagement for Warehouse Park. The project team will now review all of the feedback provided, along with technical information and City policies and programs, to develop a final design. We will share that design when it is available. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2024.

Project Overview

The Warehouse Park will cover 1.47 hectares (roughly 14,700 square metres or just over 2 football fields) between 106 Street and 108 Street and Jasper Avenue to 102 Avenue.

The vision for this park is an urban oasis and an inclusive, multi-use green space featuring large, open areas that invite citizens and visitors to reflect and explore. This park will serve as a major public amenity for downtown residents, workers and visitors as the downtown population is expected to significantly increase in the next decade. The design of 106 Street from Jasper Avenue to 102 Avenue will be integrated into the scope of work for Warehouse Park.

This project is an important catalyst project identified in the Capital City Downtown Plan, and is fully funded by the Capital City Downtown Community Revitalization Levy.

The City acquired additional land parcels which, together, comprise the location of the former Doan's restaurant on 107 Street. This land has been included in the updated site plan. The City will demolish the existing building in order to prepare the site for park development.

In December, the City awarded the contract for the Warehouse Park project to the following internationally recognized Canadian companies:

gh3* (Toronto) - The lead firm and the architecture lead
Claude Cormier x Associés (Montreal) - The landscape architecture lead
AECOM (Edmonton) - The engineering team and the local landscape site architect
Twenty/20 Communications (Edmonton) - The public engagement team
Ombrages (Quebec) - The lighting designer

2020

Concept phase. The project vision and design parameters identified in the strategy phase are used to develop the design of the park, and reflect the prominence of the site, and the park’s potential to revitalize downtown.

The City acquired 2 additional parcels of land.

A design competition originally proposed to secure a consultant for this project was cancelled due to COVID-19. The alternative procurement process for design services was started.
