The City of St. Albert is happy to announce the completion of our newest community park – Kingsmeade Park in the Kingswood neighbourhood!
The park is intended for use in all seasons, and has an incredible nature-themed playground area, walking trails with interactive play elements, a boarded outdoor rink, multi-sport court area, open spaces for unstructured play and an all-season social hub.
Some park components are still to come in December 2021, including completion of the heating and lighting systems in the social hub shelter, and two pieces of playground equipment (playhouse and teeter totter) which are scheduled to be installed in spring 2022. The City is also installing some temporary park furniture as we wait for the permanent furniture to arrive.
Enjoy the park! Plans are in the works for a grand opening event in the new year.
