Alberta Legislature Building & Grounds

Completed renovations bring a fresh and modern feel in 2025.

Nestled near the heart of downtown Edmonton, the Alberta Legislature Building serves as a striking symbol of democracy and heritage. Overlooking the North Saskatchewan River Valley, this historic site has recently undergone a thoughtful renovation that brings new life to the surrounding grounds. The revitalized water feature serves as a shining focal point, bringing families and visitors together during the summer months. Polished stone walkways, manicured lawns, and tree-lined paths lead guests through a welcoming mix of natural beauty and architectural style, all against the impressive backdrop of the Legislature dome.

With the completion of the water feature renovation, the grounds have become a hub of seasonal joy. Jets of cool water arc playfully across shallow pools, providing a refreshing escape during Edmonton's warm summer days. Children laugh and splash freely while families gather under shaded seating areas, enjoying the scenic views. The grounds give the renewed spirit of community that defines the Alberta Legislature in the heart of summer.
