LOVED loved LOVED - Did I mention LOVED?!? this park!…read more We ventured out to this community league park containing two playgrounds, fields, outdoor ice rink, and spray park for the day last week for a Mommy kiddo group play date. Little community league spray parks like this are a real gem! With playground equipment designed for toddlers and bigger kids AND a section of swings, this community league has got it all. There is a green shack here in the summer but I think the hours were 230-6PM Monday through Friday so we just missed them opening. Back behind the grassy knoll were great hills that just begged for bike riding fun or sledding in the winter! The park is fenced off with a couple entrances/exits but I REALLY appreciate limtied entries and exits when watching multiple kiddos 5 & under at a park! The water portion was small in comparison to the spray and splash parks listed on the city of Edmonton website but this is still a total gem! There was more than enough water features to keep the approximately 30 kids in the water entertained and the sandy toddler area also had toddler height sand/water tables for more fun play! There were washrooms available for our use and the Ottewell Community League playschool was also on site today. Man... If I lilved here, I would most DEFINITELY be having my kiddo's next birthday party here! There is a fairly large covered area with multiple picnic tables and quite a few shady spots and benches around the park. This particular visit was rather humorous because I had to rescue some screaming kidlets from squishing and stepping on poo that some kid left on the ground - YUCK! Thankfully, the washrooms came in handy so I could grab some paper towels and clean it up best I could for the kidlets! If you have toddler or little kids, then this park is worth the drive from anywhere around Edmonton! Or if you are shopping for a place to move and raise kids and want to be near Capillano, this may be just the neighbourhood for you!

Ottewell Community League hall and park are amazing. We live only a few blocks away so it's easy to…read morecome here any time of day. People come from all other neighbourhoods to enjoy the park and spray park. There is a great Green Shack program for the older kids through out the summer. And through the winter the full size skating rink is amazing with a full size locker room for changing comfortably. It's always clean and there are great things for the kids to play with young and old. It's also a busy little Hall for events and bookings. With seating capacity up to 120, there is a electric fire place and a projector with a screen for all this slide shows. The best thing about the hall is the huge chef's kitchen. Tons of room with all the bells and whistles for catering your own events. It also has a nice bar with a huge fridge and serving area for that professional touch. Did I mention the commercial Ice Maker? Yeah one of those too! The rental rates are fantastic and even better if you a community league member!

Great trees around to run in and the park is filled with squishy tires instead of sand. It's a great place to play and if you get bored, there's another playground across the street! The community league itself has been renovated and looks amazing outsides the landscaping is gorgeous. Lots of events through the year as well.

This building was built in the 1980s and includes some great space for use by various groups.

Helen is the wonderful woman who takes care of the building and she is wonderful. If she's unavailable or has to step out she'll leave contact information for someone more local to the hall in case you need anything. Helen is good at making sure that snow is cleared from walkways etc. as best as can be as quickly as possible given a major snowstorm. The hall is a little bit difficult to access if you're unfamiliar with it, but it has ample free parking, is close to transit and major roadways and is within walking distance of many facilities in the Old Strathcona area. I'm really fond of some of the more recent upgrades to the upstairs lounge: the improved lighting makes it much more of a wonderful area to host events, for example.

I was here attending/helping at an under 40 mixer event in the big room upstairs. It's got wooden floors and mirrors across one wall, so I think it must be used for exercise classes and things of that nature, too. I'm sure there's much more to explore in this big ol' building since it's HUGE. Gotta give props to its sweet location, plenty of parking, and the playground nearby. The perfect family-friendly place for this neighbourhood.

This building is great for hosting various types of events, from trivia nights and charity…read morefund-raisers to weddings and barbecues. I have attended numerous events here either in the large main hall or in the smaller space upstairs. There are ample kitchen facilities for any catering or other food services. Chairs and tables are of course certainly available of various dimensions depending on the function that is being held here. There is also a nearby skating rink in the winter, fields for sports and ample parking. It is also located near a bus route (10).

The food was disgusting, the patio was off limits and not open to the public, and if you want to get lunch the clubhouse has been moved to a dark dungy hole with two small windows. Won't be going back there anytime soon.

The booking process is very easy, and they are flexible with the menu. They can prepare a menu for you, or you can order of their kitchen menu if it's during the golf season.

Walking in the front doors, there's a foyer area with a few tables set up for registration. There was a couch there too. The water fountain and washrooms were just down the hall. The washroom was clean and had 5 or 6 stalls. The venue was very large and there was room between us for dancing. The stage was great as we could see the instructors, even being farther back and lots of people could fit on the stage too. With the lights dimmed, it was fun to have the glow and dark effect. The theme was 80s so the neon colours really stood out. They had a few chairs on the side and lots of space to put our belongings. It was a fun event and a great venue for it.
