In the past year, there have been so many new Edmonton playgrounds opened up, revealed and a couple that we’re waiting for fences to come down! From massive ribbon climbing apparatuses that span the full playground, to climbers that are multi-level and challenging, dynamic and parkour style - Edmonton playgrounds are an exciting discover to make this summer.

13 New Edmonton Playgrounds to discover in 2023

**Maple Playground**

Visit Maple Playground for a climber unlike any climber you’ve seen before in Edmonton. This ribbon climber spans the whole playground, and is finally open for the season! It’s a fun way to race around, and the organic shape and ‘slide’ structure are a wonderful invitation for open play.
*Maple Road and 8th Street, Edmonton*

**Rocketship Playground**

This is a new(ish) playground to central Edmonton and a fast favourite to everyone who plays here. From the tall climber, swings, fast slides and tall pole to slide down, to the green space and seating areas for parents and caregivers to supervise play. It’s one of our favourite places to have a picnic during the warmer months, and meet with friends to play.
*112 Avenue and 122 Street*

Albert G Nickel Park
Albert G Nickel takes the cake for the best, and tallest, climber in the city. Your older kids, and climbing younger kids, will enjoy the challenge of making it to the top. It’s fantastic for a game of ‘the floor is lava’ and features an elevated climber that we really, really like. Bring your imagination for the lemonade stand!

Hearthstone Playground
Opening Late Spring
This is unique, fort and treehouse style playground north of Sherwood Park, in the Hearthstone Neighbourhood. Though it’s not open just yet, it’s one to keep an eye on because of the opportunity for climbing and imaginative play!
Hearthstone Community, Sherwood Park

Wildrose Elementary School
Get ready for imaginations to run wild here, at this series of treehouses that can be anything from a community to a network of birdhouses (they’ve been both during our play sessions here!). Raised off the ground but still accessible enough for the toddlers in our squad, it’s a playground we visit often in St. Albert.
58 Grenfell Ave

Prince Rupert Park
The climber at Prince Rupert Park is a multi-layered course and a wonderful way to run (and climb) off some energy this month in Edmonton. This Edmonton playground is a fantastic addition to the city, for older kids and younger kids.
