Mountain bike park officially under construction in central Edmonton

A mountain bike park is now under construction in central Edmonton.

If anyone hasn't looked through the full design booklet, it's worth a read. https://www.edmbikepark.ca/concept?pgid=lb14xizj-93a68f2a-046f-4120-8153-bfe1b2f2ec93

I feel like this project is a bit under-hyped. This is a HUGE addition to our river valley recreation/leisure/tourism. Few cities can claim such an extensive park like this 5mins from downtown and a 50k student university.

The new 107 Ave park is coming along. Lots of pavement so far, but it looks a bit better in person than in my photos.

The new addition to Central Park in Spruce Grove opened last weekend. It is an incredible facility.

Mary Burlie Park rendered... It is clear that the finished park will service two levels -- one aligned with the sidewalk that goes under the overpass and another that is elevationally equivalent to the upper deck of the overpass and the pedestrian sidewalk between 96th and 97th Street. It makes sense to me to continue the park onto the overpass and connect all of this to Qualico's Linear Park, the first phase of which was recently completed.

Interesting video
They tore down a highway and Made it a River (and traffic got better)

This looks like a cool project. Glad one of the Ski Hills is putting effort into off season attractions.

What an unexpected pleasure to wake up and find that one of the YouTube geography channels I follow did a highlight video on the history of the river valley. It's a quick summary but pretty decent.

I like how he accurately states Edmonton is located in CENTRAL and not Northern Alberta, which so many people seem to believe (especially Easterners). Probably at least 60% of Alberta's landmass is north of Edmonton

Yes, one of my biggest peeves is how often Edmonton is described being in Northern Alberta, when in fact it is actually in the southern half of the province geographically (although fairly close to the centre)

I feel this does lead to or reinforce some of the negative stereotypes about weather here particularly by Easterners but also by people in some parts of BC.

I somehow doubt that this park will be completed by next spring

There's something about Riverdale that makes it feel like a real community... maybe it's its semi-isolation, maybe its proximity to the river, maybe its the old-timers who live there.

Saw a notice this week. EMBA will be using a Snowdog to groom trails in Terwilliger park this winter. Its part of a plot project. Hopefully we will see more trails groomed in the futter.
