Red Willow Park West - Meadowview Trail Construction
About the Project
The City of St. Albert is constructing a new trail connection from the newly constructed Grey Nuns White Spruce Park (GNWSP) to downtown along the north side of the Sturgeon River. The Red Willow Park West - Meadowview Trail construction project will connect with the existing Red Willow Trail network along the Riverside neighbourhood, ultimately connecting Ray Gibbon Drive trails to MacMillan Park.
The full scope of the Red Willow Park West (Phase 2) Trail project includes:
• Nearly 2 km of multi-use trails
• Two bridges
• Two viewing areas overlooking the Sturgeon River
• Five rest areas, including benches and waste receptacles
Starting at GNWSP, located along the east side of Ray Gibbon Drive and north of the Sturgeon River, south of the Riverside neighbourhood, this construction project is part of 3 phases that will ultimately connect residents from Ray Gibbon Drive to the downtown core and the existing Red Willow Trail System.
Phase 1 (Completed)
- Establish amenities and trails within the GNWSP.
Phase 2 (Construction commenced May 2025, and expected completion Fall 2026)
- Will connect Phase 1 to the downtown core and the existing Red Willow Trail network.
Phase 3 (Design underway, construction to be determined)
- Design and construction of a new parking lot, permanent washrooms and an access point for park users, located within the Riverside neighbourhood.
- Addition of interpretive elements, including educational signage, public art and links to online materials.
Timeline
