I love listening to the water so taking a stroll on the walking bridge is so soothing. The bridge is nice and wide so no worries for social distancing. And it's lit up at night too. There are a few lookout spots with benches. It's lovely at anytime of the year, summer winter spring and fall.

We decided this year to try a different park each time we go out for a picnic. With the weather…read morelooking questionable we went to Capilano Park which we have never been to, but is fairly close to my house. What a lovely spot to picnic at. Not large, but has 12 picnic sites, some with the BBQs..many of them in the trees where you feel more secluded from the city and the parking lot. There are bathrooms also for convenience. Lots of trails to walk, ride a bike, or push a stroller. Our only issue is that the BBQ pits are way too small. We could not fit enough wood in them to generate the proper heat to cook our smokies on. The are so narrow! Anyway, nothing large or glamorous. But if you need a few hours of solitude, this is the place for you...just pack your propane BBQ.

I really enjoyed this park in the past but I have to say when you're less mobile, it does take some…read moresleuthing to figure out where to access things to get a better walk close to the ravine. Beautiful at all times of the year and one of my most favourite winter events is held within this park. Being that I live decently close to this park, I was surprised the 3 access points to this park I've encountered were all massive stairs but none of them had signs for any options for accessible routes. Lovely benches always nearby the top of the stairs which I've enjoyed this summer and some being near smaller open parks, I've enjoyed watching the dogs. I wouldn't recommend using the stair routes unless you're looking for good cardio in your day otherwise after a long walk in the ravine, it is quite a hike back up (speaking from past experiences!). Today, I took a neighbourhood construction detour and wondered where everyone was going with bikes and dogs. It was like the whole neighbourhood was outside! I smartly followed the dog walkers and biker groups. Finally, flatter trails and easier slope access points to the park were wonderfully revealed. There's cement paths on the upper portions of millcreek and more gravel and dirt paths on the lower levels. Some beautiful places for photos - tons of people out there today for family and engagement photos with the beautiful fall colours and the lovely bridges. I really like millcreek ravine due to the mix use. There's a good mix of on and off leash trails for dog walkers. Good trails for all sorts of bikes. Decent paved trails for young families. Nice variation of walking paths for various fitness levels. Lovely way to connect with nature without driving out of the city. I do have to say with everyone outside, I was surprised that I was one of the few with a mask on in the park. Some areas the trails are so narrow, you're almost shoulder to shoulder passing by. The path I ended on was going in the direction of the pool but due to my limited walking distance stamina, I turned around way before reaching that. Had a great but unexpected chat with friends on my way back to my vehicle which of course was much closer than I actually thought (it's easy to loose track of how far you've gone so good to remember to charge up your phone before going into the ravine so you can check distances/path maps).

There is one porta potty in the parking lot beside the Mill Creek pool turnoff. Lots of cyclists. Most of them use their bells to give you heads up. Some will shout..."On your left!'... I shout back, "I doubt that, pal. I voted NDP". I can walk 10 km through this park which gives me a pretty nice, safe workout. I also stop and smell the roses.

Over the years, we've enjoyed the sites to have BBQs and gatherings. It's a spacious park and even with crowds, it never seems that busy (except during Heritage Days). Most recently I was here for the Rock Festival at the Amphitheatre. It's easy to find the white top and the walking from parking isn't far as it's central. Inside there was plenty of seating with a good view of the stage and those who brought their own lawn chairs could enjoy it from the outside where it was a bit warmer when the sun was out. There's a water fountain near the washrooms and lots of women stalls, although with this crowd, there was always a line up that moved fast. They also had porta potties. There were tents set up with vendors on one site, and food trucks on the other, and sometimes the walkway got crowded but I could walk around them. I enjoyed the event, and it got a bit chilly so I'm glad we also brought a blanket to keep warm!

It is nice to have some green space in the concrete jungle of central Edmonton.

I visited most recently for Corn Fest and was happy to take in the scenery while enjoying some hot corn on the cob.

Well hello Pipestone Creek Recreation Park. I've walked in you for years and I had no idea what…read moreyour official name was until I had to add your listing to Yelp. When I was growing up, you were just "The Creek Park." Later, you were The Creek Park that people built their houses in. I was none too fond of that. Nor am I still none too fond of it. My dog used to go running for puddles that would gather at the base of a hill where those houses now stand. Boo. Anyway, this past weekend I was back for a visit and had occasion to revisit my old running loop. Everything's just as I remembered! The park itself is awesome. By day, it's a great place for a walk or a run. The path running through it is relatively flat, so easy for just about any age to enjoy. There are also soccer fields and baseball diamonds for people to enjoy. When I was in jr high, I used to come out to the soccer fields in the early hours before school and practice throwing a discus (it was the one track and field sport I seemed to have a natural knack for). In more recent years, the town has even added a spray park. By night, it's by far the best place within the town limits to come star gazing (or catch the Northern Lights if it's winter). Park yourself in the middle of a soccer field, lay down and look up.. wwwaaaaaaaay up. It's gorgeous! I also have memories of a family of foxes living in the park. And it's always fun to stroll along the creek in the evenings and see if you can spot any beavers swimming around. It's quite pretty, and enjoyed even more in the presence of friends or pet.
