100th Anniversary Project Overview
EFCL has created a new destination park space in W. Hawrelak Park. The Community Leagues have done a tremendous job of growing recreation, building community facilities, encouraging neighbourhood engagement and shaping the look of where we live. We wanted to do something worthy of honouring this great contribution.
The Community League Plaza is a tribute to the community league volunteers that have helped to build Edmonton for more than 100 years. Located on the southeast of the lake, this plaza is an all-season amenity that will be open to the public this fall. It includes new seating, lake and creek viewing areas, artwork, displays, and information about how Edmonton and the community league movement have grown together through time. Along the cleaned up stream feature are additional new installations to engage visitors and offer creative ways to demonstrate the continuing contributions of an ever expanding movement of volunteers.
The EFCL has cleaned up the stream for park visitors to better enjoy the soothing sounds and visual benefits of this beautiful park feature.
