Community

Both the Parkallen and Allendale communities have active community leagues with many activities and events for young families. We are grateful to the community members for their hard work over many years, to provide a newly refurbished play park, spray deck, basketball court and ice rink in Parkallen that are enjoyed by the school children. Both communities plan regular social events. There are many playing fields that are used for school-based physical education, as well as soccer and other community sports.

The communities host Guides, Cubs and Scout groups, and there are martial arts groups that meet at the community halls. Parkallen and Allendale offer organized and drop-in indoor and outdoor soccer programs, and a drop-in basketball program provided in conjunction with Grant MacEwan University. Additionally, the Sprouts community gardening group offer a child-friendly gardening program. The communities, in partnership with the City of Edmonton offer programs for children including learn-to-skate, bicycle riding and road safety courses, babysitting courses, and crafts and science workshops. Also, during the school summer vacation, the City of Edmonton Green Shack provides programing for children in the park. Both communities stay connected with the City of Edmonton on matters of community planning and development that impact the neighbourhoods. For more information, check out the websites:
