Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park Renewal

***This engagement has concluded and a What We Heard Report will be made available here when completed.  The project team will conduct further public engagement in Spring 2022. ***

As part of the Rollie Miles Athletic Park Renewal, the City of Edmonton is inviting you to participate in providing input on layout and design choices for the park. Please review the information on this page, share your thoughts, and complete the survey listed below before the end of the day on January 4, 2022.

About The Project

The 13.09 hectare Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park located at Calgary Trail (104 Street) between University Avenue and 70 Avenue (in the Queen Alexandra neighbourhood) supports a number of community amenities and facilities including Strathcona High School, Queen Alexandra Community League, Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues office, Strathcona Pool, George S. Hughes Arena, as well as tennis courts, a 400m synthetic running track, and several sports fields. Aging infrastructure and growing community demand have created the need for a park renewal project.

The Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park Enhancement project will progress the design of open space priorities through refinement of the park master plan created in 2018.

In this current phase of the project, the City is advancing the open space elements while coordinating with the recreation centre which is also progressing through planning and design.

Project Overview

Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park was identified as a priority for park renewal in the 2015-2018 Capital Budget. The District Park renewal program is a long-term strategic approach to renew district parks in mature neighbourhoods and is focused on improving various park elements as part of an overall master plan based on community need.

In 2021 a new project was initiated which will advance the planning and design through the Development Design phase for the enhancement of select open space infrastructure at Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park in alignment with the preferred concept in the approved Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park Master Plan (2018).

A more detailed overview, timeline of site and project history from 2013 to the current phase, and a frequently asked questions section can be found on the project website.

Please note: This project is for the park and open/green spaces only. The recreation centre development for Rollie Miles Athletic Field District Park will be conducted separately and will have future engagement opportunities.

Proposed Park Renewal Options

Please refer to the Rollie Miles Engagement Presentation Boards for a detailed overview of the proposed park renewal options.
