Edmontonians just got their first downtown park in 30 years!

 

Welcome to Alex Decoteau Park, named after Canada’s first Indigenous police officer. Decoteau represented Canada in the 1912 Olympics and fought in WWI.

 

The park boasts some pretty impressive features – a fountain, community garden and an off-leash area with turf specifically designed for dogs.

The park is located at 105th Street and 102nd Avenue, right in the heart of downtown.
