Great Park to picnic in season. There are several indoor areas and picnic tables as well as outdoor ones and parking. There are trails for walking as well. Enjoy the ducks in the pond. Various events are held here: one of which is Symphony in the Park. Watch for more renovation, especially to the pond to add a beach area.

The music and all the grounds for festivals are great. I find Heritage days to expensive for what it is; however the dancing is amazing. Great family activities especially eco days. Winter skate festival is a must for the family, need to bundle up "its edmonton winters"

Would be a 5 star had it not been for the wrong name on the facility. Original name was Mayfair Park... will never understand why a politician with personal agenda received top billing.

Love skating on the lake and walking all around - we also enjoyed the snow festival too! Our favorite spot to get away in nature right in the city!

Great place to relax, watch some birds on the pond, take in a concert and in the winter go skating. Not a lot of room for sports, but that is the point, Quiet.

Just moved to Edmonton, and this will be a popular place for my family. We visited last week and did some outdoor skating and it was the highlight of our time here so far. What a great spot!! Looking forward to future visits and to experience it in the summer.

Lots of room to stretch out and enjoy a sunny day. Bring along the portable BBQ and a frisbee and you are set for a day of fun in the sun.
