COMMUNITY WALKING MAP Windsor Park, Garneau, Belgravia and McKernan Downtown Old Strathcona Windsor Park, Garneau, Belgravia and McKernan Windsor Park, Garneau, Belgravia and McKernan Enjoy walking the tree-lined streets of Garneau, Windsor Park, Belgravia and McKernan, four of Edmonton’s most unique communities. Situated on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River valley and close to the University of Alberta North Campus, these neighbourhoods provide much for residents to do and explore. Amenities such as the University Hospital, Jubilee Auditorium, Rutherford House and Hub Mall are accessible by foot. Three LRT stations serve the communities, and Old Strathcona, Whyte Avenue and downtown are within easy reach on foot or by bicycle. Windsor Park was a subdivision that was created in 1911, just prior to the amalgamation between Edmonton and Strathcona, during the land booms in the early part of the 20th century. Most of the development occurred in the 1950s. It features larger estate homes and new infill development along with open green spaces. Large parks such as William Hawrelak and Emily Murphy are nearby and easily accessible on foot. Garneau, or The Garneau as it was once known, is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Edmonton, and has roots of deep historical significance to the University of Alberta, the City of Edmonton, and the Province of Alberta. Numerous prominent citizens have lived here in the decades since the area was created in 1912. Its historic homes are surrounded by trendy cafes, shops and apartments. Belgravia is a community just south of the University and University Avenue. It is characterized by a large urban forest of elm trees along the streets and primarily residential houses. It is bordered on the west side by the North Saskatchewan River valley, an area that provides many great walking opportunities. From Belgravia you can walk to Heritage Days in the summer and ski all the way to the Kinsmen Field House in the winter. Right below the community, on its south west side, is the Whitemud Equine Centre. A dog off-leash area wraps around the south and west sides of the community. Belgravia is a community with many original residents as well as lots of new families. Explore the many walking routes in this area, including the BB Gun Hill Route, which was named by the local children who lived along Saskatchewan Drive in the early 1950s. The hill was so fast, it was like a BB gun. McKernan is located directly south of the University campus and offers older, renovated and new infill homes on tree-lined streets with excellent transport connections. It was named for James McKernan, a prominent businessman and citizen of Edmonton’s early rival, the City of Strathcona. McKernan became part of Edmonton through amalgamation in 1912, but development of the area was delayed until McKernan Lake was drained during the 1940s. Garneau, Windsor Park, Belgravia and McKernan four vibrant communities that put you in the centre of Edmonton and are perfect for those choosing an active lifestyle in a vibrant area.
