  • 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.
