John Walter Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

From the City of Edmonton website:
"The John Walter Museum is located right in the heart of Edmonton’s river valley in Kinsmen Park. As an accredited museum, the site interprets the life of John Walter and the Strathcona community of Walterdale from 1870-1942."

The bridge is roofed to protect from the elements. You walk at a level lower than the High Level (road & rail) Bridge, so your views of the river from either side are unobstructed.

Irene Parlby Park

Highlight • Natural

Mary Irene Marryat Parlby (1868-1965) was the first woman in Alberta and second woman in the British Empire to serve as a cabinet minister. Parlby was born in England and came to Alberta in 1897. After helping to establish the women's auxiliary of the United Farmers' of Alberta (UFA), she became the provincial president of the United Farm Women of Alberta in 1916. From 1921 to 1935 Parlby was a member of the provincial legislature in the UFA government. She served on the Board of Governors of the University of Alberta from 1919 to 1921 and was the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate of laws degree from the University of Alberta. Parlby was a member of the "Famous five" who, in 1929, won the "Person's Case" before the Privy Council of England, granting women the right to hold a seat in the Canadian Senate. She was named to the Canadian delegation that attended the League of Nations at Geneva in 1930. The Irene Parlby Park has an area of 3.7 ha.

Bike rental shop / cafe where you can get water, snacks, coffee, beer, etc... Can't comment on the bike rental shop, but the cafe is overpriced. A hot chocolate and a bottle of water were $7.88. But, if you need a break, it's there...

Railtown Park

Highlight • Trail

Railtown Park is a beautiful little park hidden between condos and shopping centres. Its multi-use trail is great to stroll down any time of day. Follow the trail down to Constable Ezio Faraone Park, which boasts incredible views of river valley. Midway you can hop on the High Level Bridge streetcar and head south of the river.
