Emily Murphy Park

So many places around here to pop into and explore. Great place for kids, and very relaxing! We took the family there for the float ride, but they had double booked, and our float was gone by the tome we got there. That's the only reason for not getting 5 stars. Disappointing, but we had a great day anyway!

Beautiful park, I've spent several long, long days there in the past week, the park is conveniently down the hill from the U of A and only 7 minute drive from the Cross Cancer Center, a place I've had to drop off a loved one early in the morning and pick up again in the evening. This park has beautiful pathways, shade and sun, washrooms and a running tap, making it a great place to become a park hobo if you're in town with no money and no place to go. If anyone saw a girl sitting in a willow tree from July 5-10th that was me, thanks for letting me crash in such a beautiful spot during such a hard time. Edmonton you are a beautiful city and I hope to visit more often in better circumstances

This is such an underappreciated little park. Close to the water, many picnic sites available, and there is easy access to the river.

picnicking and great stairs as well as a great view of the north Saskatchewan river. The incline hill starting from the statue is near 45 degrees and offers a great cardio challenge plus the steps back to the park gives a 15 minute circuit workout.

This is a beautiful park for a pic nic and the trails and landscaping are fabulous. It is advertised as boat launch however after the renovations I would say there is no boat launch. There is a very nice oath down the river east to get your canoe or kayak to but the dock has been removed and it is steep and very rocky. Not just rocky but you must climb down boulders then pull your boat down over the big rocks. A nice launch pad would be an awesome idea

Beautiful little park with Picnic tables and Stoves to cook your food for Gatherings. Some Open Fire pits 1 on each end of the Park,There's a Big Camp style kitchen up by the Washrooms and also a Little park for the children. There are many Connections for Trails to Hawerlark park along the River and also a Trail to Kinsmen Sport Center, Boat launch for Rafts near the Groat rd bridge.

Excellent place for outdoor activities. Particularly with kids whole Family can play and enjoy. There are lots of BBQ bars that can be use for Summer sizzling. Park is well maintained and grass is lush green. Parking area needs little bit attention. Otherwise great park in the university neighborhood.

Love this park. As part of the longest urban parkway in North America it is a great place to enjoy a walk in the trees and other amenities. There are picnic tables and fire places to enjoy. There are trails all through the park to enjoy. Some trails lead right up to the University of Alberta. It’s a great park and I will definitely come back again and recommend this park.

Awesome ride today,... Perfect walking, or riding weather. People seemed a little "on edge", today for some reason, Maybe I'm just a jerk-lol : . I can't say I saw a lot of masked people other than myself. Hope people are not letting their guard's down too early and ruin any progress gained by us all practicing safe distancing protocol for the last 4 months?

A decent put in or take out for paddling trips. Changes due to Grout Bridge work haven't had much effect. Parking, access and drop off/pick up are okay when it's not busy.
