Community and Recreation Facilities
Branch — Community and Recreation Facilities Introduction The Community and Recreation Facilities Branch manages and animates over 60 community facilities, operates and programs river valley parks and trails, and supports a wide range of community organizations to deliver important festivals and events throughout the City. Working with the community, the Branch supports City Council’s goal to improve Edmonton’s livability. Community facilities are managed as vibrant, active places where citizens feel welcomed, valued, and appreciated and are designed to promote personal growth and healthy lifestyles. The diverse range of facilities, outdoor spaces, programs and events attract local residents and visitors and are an essential part of the fabric of Edmonton. A core outcome of the Branch is to create vibrant places that enhance liveability and vibrancy of the City by providing places and opportunities for all Edmontonians to gather, connect, recreate and celebrate. Facilities and River Valley parks serve as community hubs, bringing people together in welcoming and exciting settings where they can build relationships, meet friends, have fun, and be healthy and active. In recent years, the City of Edmonton has provided significant investment into new and expanded community facilities. This investment has been transformational. Many facilities have seen major upgrades and expansions, including the Edmonton Valley Zoo (Arctic Shores and The Wander), the John Janzen Nature Centre, four arenas, and four leisure centres. Major new facilities have opened and are being enjoyed by Edmontonians including the Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre, Commonwealth Stadium and Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre, Fred Broadstock and Queen Elizabeth outdoor pools and St. Francis Xavier Sport Centre.

Nature's Wild Backyard
Born at a crucial time in history, This is the Generation that can Preserve our one and only Planet. HELP US INSPIRE THEM BRIDGING WORLDS Given the seemingly miraculous achievements in bringing species on the brink back to life, modern zoos are sometimes described using a biblical term, “the Ark” – ushering in exciting breakthroughs in genetics and breeding. But there is another, perhaps even more fundamental, role that accredited zoos play that is best described by a more prosaic phrase, “the Bridge.” Today accredited zoos and aquariums worldwide are living bridges between an increasingly urban society and natural habitats threatened by growing human encroachment. Zoos and aquariums teach us about nature and help us envisage a future more sustainable and harmonious than our present, and their professional organizations serve to synergize their efforts and amplify their message. It is through today’s zoos that future generations will come to a greater understanding of the human impact on the natural world and be motivated to preserve it and reverse the damage already done. We at the Edmonton Valley Zoo take that responsibility seriously. NURTURING AN ANCIENT BOND For almost 60 years the Edmonton Valley Zoo has hosted generations of guests seeking to experience the unique bond between humans and the wild animals that we, as a species, have always enjoyed. The Edmonton Valley Zoo has been a starting place on a journey of love, learning, care and respect for thousands seeking to experience the wonder of wildlife. When you visit our zoo we hope you will have an encounter with our animals and our environment that, in some way, changes you – inspires you.

Edmonton Valley Zoo
ABOVEEdmonton Valley Zoo “When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate on the preservation of the future.” ~ Dian Fossey Immersive landscapes are those in which animals and humans alike are enveloped by a common habitat. This approach erases the boundaries and hierarchical divisions between animals and visitors found at conventional zoos. By engaging animals on their own terms and in their own habitats, visitors are better able to understand the high degree of interconnectivity between themselves, the animals they are viewing, and the world around them. Children and adults perceive and engage the world in very different ways. At an elemental level, children operate at a very different scale than their adult counterparts. Unlike adults, children also tend to learn about the world and their place in it with a high degree of physicality: through play. Using immersive landscapes and a ‘children’s geography’ as points of departure, the master plan for the Children’s Precinct pursues four primary gestures of spatial engagement as means of defining a new conceptual framework for the Zoo: Under, Between, On, and Above. These abstract experiential types speak to a wide range of possible means of bodily relation to a given landscape and simultaneously sponsor play as a primary mechanism for engaging that landscape. Building on the master plan for the Edmonton Valley Zoo Children’s precinct, this project develops one aspect of that proposal - the ‘Above Zone’ - as a discrete immersive experience. CONCEPTUAL CHILDREN’S EXPERIENTIAL SPATIAL CORE SUPPORTING FRAMEWORK GEOGRAPHY TOUCHSTONES ARCHETYPES SPECIES SPECIES The Above Building is the first project to be delivered by the Edmonton Valley Zoo based on its 2014 master plan.
