Emily Murphy Park — Local services in Greater Strathcona

This park is absolutely wonderful! It’s a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. The walking trails are beautifully maintained and surrounded by lush greenery, which makes every stroll feel peaceful and refreshing. There are plenty of benches and picnic areas where you can sit and take in the scenery, and the open spaces are great for kids to run around and play.

What really stands out is how clean and well-kept the entire park is — you can tell the staff and visitors really care about keeping it beautiful. There’s also a playground, which is perfect for families with young children, and lots of shady spots for a quiet moment with a book or just to watch the world go by.

It’s an amazing place to visit any time of year — whether it’s sunny and warm or covered in a blanket of snow, it always feels magical. Highly recommend spending some time here if you’re looking for a peaceful escape in the middle...

This is a smallish park in the river valley. It celebrates Emily Murphy (along with others) who challenged that women were not considered persons under the British North America Act. That part of the Act was amended to mean women ARE persons under the act thanks to her efforts.

In any case, the Park isn't very big and is just down from the U of A and is very accessible. There are washrooms, picnic tables and bbq for anyone to use.

The trails run along the river and through the park and there were quite a few joggers, walkers and hikers using them.

It's fairly quiet although you can here the city sounds impinging on the peace somewhat.

If you're in the area by the university and need some time out of traffic and bustle come pay Emily Murphy a visit to...

Beautiful park, I've spent several long, long days there in the past week, the park is conveniently down the hill from the U of A and only 7 minute drive from the Cross Cancer Center, a place I've had to drop off a loved one early in the morning and pick up again in the evening. This park has beautiful pathways, shade and sun, washrooms and a running tap, making it a great place to become a park hobo if you're in town with no money and no place to go. If anyone saw a girl sitting in a willow tree from July 5-10th that was me, thanks for letting me crash in such a beautiful spot during such a hard time. Edmonton you are a beautiful city and I hope to visit more often in better...
