I'm under the impression that the ice wall will only be available during the winter while a rock wall will be available during the summer.

You are correct. I forgot to add winter in my question. My only slight concern is there is not a lot of shading and if the winter weather gets warm, any ice wall could potentially degrade quicker than if in a shaded spot (Ice district, the wall was shaded by the buildings blocking the sun)

I don't understand why the city thinks that "RUBBERIZED PLAY AREA WITH SPHERES AND HILL" is such a great idea, they added those to the Kinistinâw Park, then to the Centennial Plaza, and now to this project. Why not add actual playgrounds? That's just lame

Well rubberized surfaces make it more accessible. Try rolling a wheelchair or walker through the old style play areas.

I hope the community actually uses this space. Like pop up markets or some kind of programming. It's not really the best location to just hang out, shaded on south and a busy street.

Makes me sad that for these drawings, high school parking takes more land than the school itself.

What’s the walk from those schools and rec centre to LRT. Those should be as minimal and optimized as possible. Anything longer than 5 minutes is a mistake.

Construction on the 107 Ave park at 105 Street was late getting started in 2024 (it was supposed to be finished in fall 2024) - it will not be completed until summer 2025.
This project is part of the 107 Ave revitalization between 101 to 122 streets.
107 Ave will also feature a bike detected traffic light at 113 Street as part of a new protected active transportation route connecting Kingsway Ave to 105 Ave.

Improvements to 107 Avenue, from 101 Street to 122 Street, will help enhance community connections.

Project aims to cultivate community and canopy in McCauley
One of the organizers behind a project to plant a thousand trees in an inner-city neighbourhood says increasing shade and greenery isn't really the goal.

Revitalizing Mary Burlie Park: A Community-First Approach to Urban Design
Public spaces have the power to bring people together, reflect community identity, and create opportunities for connection. The renewal of Mary Burlie Park in downtown Edmonton is a project that embodies all these values, honouring the legacy of Mary Burlie, a dedicated community leader known for her advocacy and care for those in need.
Public City is proud to lead the design for this transformation, reimagining the park as a safe, inclusive, and vibrant space that better serves the surrounding communities of Boyle Street, McCauley, and Chinatown.
A Park Designed for the Community:
The new design is informed by extensive community engagement and best practices in urban design, accessibility, and safety. Some key features include:
Mary’s Window – Inspired by Mary Burlie’s habit of watching over her neighborhood from her kitchen window, this feature will serve as both a symbol of her legacy and a practical water bottle filling station for those who need it.Safer & More Accessible Design – Enhanced lighting, clear sightlines, and barrier-free pathways will improve safety and usability for all park visitors.Active & Gathering Spaces – A half-court basketball area, table tennis, a new shade structure, and a fire pit will provide flexible spaces for both everyday use and community events.Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) – Thoughtful design choices, including visibility improvements and well-defined pathways, will help create a park that is welcoming for all.A Meaningful Transformation:
Mary Burlie Park is more than just an open space—it is a reflection of the resilience and care that Mary herself embodied. By transforming the park into a more functional, connected, and safe community hub, we are ensuring that her legacy lives on in a space that welcomes, supports, and uplifts the people of Edmonton.
We look forward to seeing this vision come to life and becoming a space that the community can take pride in for years to come.
