Hawrelak Park

The most celebrated park in the City of Edmonton, Hawerlak Park sprawls out from the base of the River Valley west of the University of Alberta. It is acres upon acres of open lawn, fire pits, kitchen shelters, and water (a lake in the middle of the park, and the frontage on the North Saskatchewan River). There is also a bandshell, where concerts, festivals, and outdoor orchestra productions take place throughout the summer. I walked to this park through the River Valley trails several times this summer, a fairly long walk from the 106th Street access (which takes 30 minutes to reach from my house!).

No wonder I'm in such good shape!
