Sherwood Park

About Sherwood Park

Sherwood Park sits just east of Edmonton and, despite its size, is technically a hamlet within Strathcona County. It's a community originally built in the 1950s for nearby Refinery Row workers that has grown into one of Alberta's most desirable suburban places to live. Centre in the Park anchors the modern core, combining municipal services, the Strathcona County Library, gallery@501, and Festival Place performance venue with retail and residences. Sherwood Park's communities, from Summerwood to Emerald Hills to the older streets near Broadmoor Lake, offer a polished suburban life with downtown Edmonton just twenty minutes away

The Lifestyle

Days in Sherwood Park are practical and active. Mornings might include a workout at Millennium Place, a swim at Glen Allan, or a walk around Broadmoor Lake. Errands run smoothly at Sherwood Park Mall, Emerald Hills, or the big-box centres along Wye Road. Evenings tend toward family dinners at one of the area's growing list of independent restaurants, a show at Festival Place, or a drink on a patio. Weekends bring the Strathcona Wilderness Centre for snowshoeing or trail running, Elk Island National Park for bison spotting and dark sky stargazing, and quick trips into Edmonton when the city calls.
