For municipal reserve in the City of St. Albert, as directed through the Municipal
Development Plan (MDP) and Engineering Standards, developers generally provide
basic park amenities including trash receptacles, benches, trails, and basic landscaping
(grading, turf, some plantings, etc.). The City then provides additional amenities and
features to support active and passive use of the parks and open spaces, including
playgrounds, outdoor rinks, sport fields, sport courts, trail connections, fitness stations,
seating areas, additional landscaping, etc. in alignment with the Parks and Open
Spaces Standards and Guidelines.
