Laurier/Hawrelak Park Walk

Join the River Valley Alliance and our Community Engagement Committee for a scenic November walk through Laurier Park and along the North Saskatchewan River!

Explore the natural beauty of Edmonton’s river valley as we enjoy an afternoon outdoors, take in the changing seasons, and learn about the area’s natural and cultural history.

This approximately 7 km guided walk follows relatively flat, easy trails through Laurier Park and along the river.

Whether you’re a regular participant in our walks or joining us for the first time, this is a wonderful opportunity to stay active, connect with others, and discover more of Edmonton’s extensive river valley trail system.
