Hermitage Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Between 1969 and 1979, the City of Edmonton acquired parcels of land in the Hermitage area. By 1979 the area had been turned into a park and included in the Capital City Recreation Park system. Hermitage Park is in the Hermitage subdivision and has an area of 36.81 ha. The first district headquarters of the Church of England was established in this area in the late 1800s by the Rev. Canon William Newton (1828-1912). Newton called the settlement The Hermitage (the home of a hermit or a secluded dwelling). The Canon Ridge, Homesteader and Overlanders neighbourhoods are within the Hermitage subdivision.

Fraser Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Fraser Park is in the Fraser neighbourhood and has an area of 3.04 ha. Like other neighbourhoods in the Clareview subdivision, Fraser is named for an Edmonton pioneer. John Fraser (1840-1919) was the son of Hudson's Bay officer Colin Fraser. Born at Jasper House, Fraser apprenticed to the Hudson's Bay Company as a boat builder and dog driver. In 1871, Fraser moved to the "lower settlement" (now known as Highlands neighbourhood) and homesteaded there.

River Valley Trail Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice section of Edmonton's River Valley trail system. Looking forward to the day when hopefully a footbridge will cross the river from here, to connect with the trail going from Sherwood Park to Fort Saskatchewan.
