About the Neighbourhood

Welcome to Windsor Park

Windsor Park is one of Edmonton's most prestigious mature neighbourhoods — a south-central gem situated immediately west of the University of Alberta's north campus, overlooking the magnificent North Saskatchewan River Valley.

Originally known as River Lot 3, the land was purchased in 1910 by an English syndicate and subdivided in 1911. The neighbourhood blossomed through the mid-20th century, producing the established tree canopy, generous lot sizes, and timeless character it is celebrated for today.

The Windsor Park Community League — established in 1947 — remains one of Edmonton's most active, maintaining a community hall, outdoor rink, preschool program, and an extensive calendar of events for all ages.
