Riverdale, Edmonton
The Secret Garden in the Heart of the City
I don’t answer why Riverdale matters with stats—I tell you about the mornings I’m at Dawson Park, coffee in hand, watching dogs run free, or impromptu paddle sessions before I’m back home for showings. It’s the kind of place that’s two minutes to downtown—but feels utterly apart from it.
Riverdale is a mature river valley neighbourhood just east of downtown Edmonton. It's home to about 2,000 residents and built around Dawson Park and the original Fraser’s Flats development.
