COMMUNITY WALKING MAP

Jasper Park and Lynnwood

Jasper Park and LynnwoodJasper Park Family Club was founded in 1951, its first home being an old chicken coop granary given to them from Notre Dame School. The league changed its name to Jasper Park Community League in 1958. In 1960, a new hall was built which unfortunately was lost in a fire just a year later. A new hall was officially opened March 3rd, 1962. The hall received a new facelift and second storey in 1992. The upgraded hall is home to many activities. In 1961, Jasper Park’s women’s softball team captured the town championship.

The community has three schools: Notre Dame Ecole, James Gibbons, and Stratford. Each school has a playground, two of which have been recently renovated. Other amenities include a bank, pharmacy, restaurants and well known Bon Ton Bakery. On the west boundary is a fire station and a beautiful new library.

Important to the community is the Halloween steak supper which also features a Haunted House to which we ask for donations to the Food Bank. Central to the community is the rink which boasts the first community league to have plastic puck boards and a Zamboni. The Christmas Potluck always receives a visit from Santa Claus and horse drawn sleigh rides through the community.

Jasper Park has something for everyone. Go for a stroll, get active, participate.

LYNNWOOD, WHERE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS GROW

Lynnwood is a welcoming neighbourhood with a history of being an active and friendly place to live. Whether it’s the playschool, yoga, Scouts or a Lynnwood event, you will always find something going on. In winters, the skating rink is busy with Lynnwood Canucks Hockey teams, shinny or skating on the pond.

At the heart of Lynnwood is the ravine, where you can geocache, play capture the flag, walk your dog, toboggan or cross country ski.

With two elementary schools, shopping, restaurants, groceries, coffee shops, a new library and Lynnwood’s central location make it a great place to live.

The Benefits of WalkingWalking… a healthy journey!Ranked the number one activity of choice among Canadians, walking is a prescription for improved health and wellness. Walk briskly for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and minimize your risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Additional benefits include weight management, blood pressure control and boosting good cholesterol (HDLs).

Other benefits of walking:

• Releases the body’s tension and stress.

• Refreshes the mind and body, especially when walking outdoors.

• Allows you to connect with your community.

• Offers an excellent way to socialize with family and/or friends.

• Increases “eyes on the street”, enhancing community safety.

Walking with your Dog Edmonton has over 40 locations where you can enjoy your walk while your dog is off-leash. Please remember that all sites where dogs are permitted to be off-leash are multi-use areas used by all. Your dog must be leashed when not in a designated off-leash area. The dog icons show on this map are placed in the approximate location of each off-leash area, but do not show the precise boundaries. For more information, including details on off-leash boundaries, check the Parks for Paws Brochure or go to edmonton.ca (keyword off-leash)

There are 1,440 minutes in a day, schedule 30 of them for walking!
