Eric Mackinnon park

A NEIGHBOURHOOD PARK ALONG JOSEPH’S CREEK

Located at the corner of 18th Avenue North and 8th Street North, this grassy neighbourhood park offers space to play, gather, and spend time outdoors beside Joseph’s Creek. The layout supports both active use and relaxed time in the open green space.

It’s a straightforward park designed for everyday use by families and nearby residents.

THE PARK SPACE

The park features a large grassy field with multiple greenspaces that work well for casual games and informal outdoor activity. Park benches are spread throughout the area, offering places to pause and watch the activity around you.

The setting along the creek adds a natural edge to the space without feeling remote.

PLAY AND COURTS

Two outdoor basketball courts anchor the park for sport and pick-up play. The playground includes multiple slides and climbing structures, supporting a range of ages and abilities.

A swing set features one special needs swing, one infant swing, and two regular swings, making the play area more accessible and inclusive.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

The park is connected to the Public Produce Garden, adding a shared community element to the space and reinforcing its role as a local gathering point.
