The City of St. Albert is an urban municipality of approximately 66,800 residents located
immediately adjacent to the northwest border of the City of Edmonton. St. Albert is
primarily a residential community with a mixture of both old and newer areas, as well as
two light industrial parks, commercial areas and numerous recreational parks.
Kingsmead Park is a 2.3ha parcel in the Kingswood neighborhood in the east of the City
of St. Albert. The parcel has been subdivided and districted as Park (P) under the City’s
Land Use Bylaw. The Site is located on the Pineview II/Kingswood Area Structure Plan

The site currently has residential development to the north, Kingswood Boulevard to the
west and surround to east and south with agricultural lands. The agricultural lands
around the site are not included in the scope of the project. Development of these lands
is not within the foreseeable future.

City provides amenities and features to support active and passive use of the parks and

completed in 2021. This deadline is tied to the use of grant funding and cannot be
altered or changed.
The proponents will be required to submit full costing to detailed design, participating
and providing support on two public and one internal/stakeholder engagement session,
providing IFT documents for two tenders (playground and full park construction),
construction administration/management and project close out.
