Top Parks in Edmonton

My advice is to wear good hiking shoes. The trails can be uneven and muddy. I slipped a couple times in my sneakers and wished I had boots!

I recommend checking the weather before heading out... I went on a cloudy day and could have had better views if I planned around sunny patches instead

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some money, 'cause the park cafe prices are pretty high. I packed a picnic and it made my day way more enjoyable!

I think it’s genius to check out the off-beaten paths; some of the best views are away from the main trails. Just watch your step, though!

I recommend exploring the park early in the morning, around 8 AM... It's quieter, perfect for some peaceful walks before the crowd arrives, and the sunrise is just beautiful!

Don't forget your camera! The sights are stunning, especially during sunset. I suggest planning to stick around till about 7 PM for a great photo op.

If you're looking to save some cash, bring your own snacks and drinks! The nearby cafes can be pricey and nothing beats a picnic on a sunny day!

I think you should bring a refillable water bottle. There’s not a ton of places to buy drinks inside, and it gets hot walking around, especially in summer!

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. You’ll beat the crowds and have more time to explore without feeling rushed. Plus, you can grab brunch at the café before heading out!

if you can, i suggest buying the family pass if you're with kids. it's a great deal and saves you some cash compared to single tickets. it worked well for us!

My advice is to bring a picnic! There are great spots to sit and enjoy your lunch, plus it saves money instead of eating at a nearby café.

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes and being ready to walk a bit. The pathways are lovely, but you'll want to explore all the nooks and crannies of the park.

i recommend visiting early in the morning around 8 am. it’s quieter, and you get to enjoy the peacefulness of the ravine without too many people around. plus, it's cooler if you're going in the summer

Keep an eye out for the free parking spots along the road. I saved a few bucks by parking a bit further from the main entrance instead of using the paid lots.

I recommend bringing a picnic blanket and some snacks. There are pretty spots to relax, and it saves you money instead of buying food nearby.

If you can, visit on a weekday morning. It's way less crowded, so you can really enjoy the space and take some great photos.

check out the flower beds at different times of the day. i found they bloom beautifully in the morning light, perfect for some insta-worthy pics!

I suggest bringing a picnic to enjoy by the river. The views are stunning, and it really saves you some cash instead of grabbing food nearby. We had such a great time just relaxing and enjoying our snacks right there!

If you're planning to visit on a weekend, try to get there before 10 AM... Parking can get super packed later in the day... I thought I’d easily find a spot, but ended up walking a bit!
