Whitemud Park
Park Amenities:
Whitemud Park is a recreation and activity park located in the River Valley region of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada next to Fort Edmonton Park, the John Janzen Nature Centre and the Whitemud Equine Centre.
The park is one of the more easily accessible wilderness parks in the community of Edmonton.
The Whitemud Creek meanders through the park. The forests are left in a natural state. There are opportunities for wildlife sightings. And most of the trails exploring the park are natural covered with gravel and dirt.
Some of the activities enjoyed in the Whitemud Park during the summer months include walking, birdwatching, picnicking, jogging, hiking and biking. After the snow falls the trails in the park become cross-country ski routes for many in Edmonton during the winter months.
In the Whitemud Park are a few picnic sites. They operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Because the park is more of a wilderness park the trail routes are rougher and less maintained so it is not a wheelchair or baby stroller friendly park.
Neighbouring the Whitemud Equine Centre, in the corner of the park, is an off leash dog area. The Hawerlak Trail connects to the dog park.
