After an extensive three-year rehabilitation, the City of Edmonton says Hawrelak Park will reopen this winter.

No firm date is set, but the city expects the park will be open within the next few months — either towards the end of 2025 or in early 2026.

Project Update - Fall 2025​

The William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation Project is approaching the end of construction. The project continues on time and on budget.

Throughout 2025, substantial progress has been made on landscaping and park facilities, including the picnic shelters, Main Pavilion and the operations yard.

The following project work has recently been completed:

• Paving of roadways and pathways
• Installation of the new playground equipment
• Cleaning, reshaping and filling of the lake
• Installation of permanent power in the park
• Repairs to the Trans Canada Trail, which will provide a better user experience and control erosion while minimizing the impact on this protected natural area

The remaining rehabilitation work includes:

• Electrical and mechanical work in the facilities
• Finishing details in the playground and Heritage Amphitheatre
• Landscaping, including sod placement and tree planting

Construction is anticipated to be completed in the coming months. As construction activity slows down, the City will prepare the space (installing picnic tables, benches, signage, etc.) and staff to safely reopen the park to the public. The park is anticipated to reopen in winter 2025/2026.

Hm, never knew triathlons are held in the lake. Will be a great way to train for bigger open water races.

Can’t really train there it’s only used for big events as a swim venue.
