Holyrood Community League

We need your help to build Holyrood’s New Playground!

Our community needs to raise $30,000 to cover the cost of the new playground.  With sufficient donations we can also build an environmentally-friendly water feature next year.

Please click on the posters below and see how you can help by purchasing a piece of our park.

All Holyrood Residents welcome!

We are breaking ground to build our new playground and plaza this summer.  We have raised $600K of the $900K project budget through grants. What we are asking from Holyroodians  is a collective community contribution of $28,000.00 to ensure we get an environmentally-friendly water feature.  So let us have some fun achieving this goal and join us on February 6 for a Robbie Burns Night and February 14 for Family Day.

For three years we held meetings, open houses and conducted surveys.  Kevin Dieterman, a talented landscape designer who lives in Holyrood, donated his expertise to put these ideas on paper in a concept drawing.  The committee received an Outstanding Project Team award from the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues for this work.  We then received a grant from the City so that we could hire Kevin to turn his concepts into construction drawing for the City to work from.

The school community also built a mosaic bench at the front of the school as a memorial to friends we have lost.  The school received national recognition from the Evergreen Foundation.  The new courtyard at the school will be landscaped this summer to create a natural learning environment for all.

Picking up on our vibe, Researchers from the University of Alberta and Alberta Health Services selected Holyrood for an intergenerational study of what amenities make neighbourhoods walkable and age-friendly.

The Southeast Edmonton Seniors Centre and our very successful elementary school have both expanded and are great community partners in this project.  The Greater Edmonton Housing Authority for Seniors, The Holyrood Extendicare and the group home for people with disabilities all contributed to the design of our new park.  In an age when many people do not know their neighbours, this is truly a great neighbourhood to grow up in and grow old in.  Consider making a contribution to our project and help us leave a legacy for years to come.

DONATIONS OVER $25.00 ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN OFFICIAL TAX RECEIPT.
