William Hawrelak Park welcomes visitors back this March
The City is excited to welcome visitors back to the iconic William Hawrelak Park on March 13, following the completion of a major rehabilitation project at one of the city’s most cherished green spaces.
Construction on the William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation Project began in 2023 and is now in its final stages. The project addressed utility, transportation and facility infrastructure, while enhancing the park’s open spaces. The modernized park amenities, improved accessibility and enhanced connections to the River Valley will ensure the park continues to serve as a vibrant gathering place for generations to come.
Beginning March 13, 2026, visitors can access most of the park and enjoy various amenities and activities, such as walking, biking, snowshoeing and hosting winter picnics, as well as a new playground, a new lakefront promenade, a modernized pavilion and updated washroom facilities. The new perimeter path and multi-use trails are fully paved, supporting safe, inclusive and accessible use for people of all ages and abilities.
While the Park will be open for casual use on March 13, visitors may notice localized work to address deficiencies, commissioning and warranty-related activities.
Join us to celebrate the completion of the William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation Project and explore everything the park has to offer!
Date: Saturday, May 30
Location: William Hawrelak Park, 9330 Groat Rd. NW
Festivals, events and picnic bookings will return to William Hawrelak Park beginning June 1, 2026.
The completion of the William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation Project reflects the City’s commitment to creating vibrant, connected spaces that foster year-round recreation opportunities, community gathering and well-being for all Edmontonians.
