On May 23, 2026, Spruce Grove City Council unanimously approved plans for a new community park located on the southeastern edge of the Westgrove neighborhood. This decision marks a significant step forward in the city’s ongoing commitment to enhancing recreational facilities and green spaces for residents.

The proposed park, which will be situated on a 10-acre lot at the corner of Westgrove Boulevard and Greenway Drive, is designed to be a multi-use space that caters to families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike. Plans include playgrounds for children, walking trails, picnic areas, and a community garden. The park's design incorporates native plant species, promoting biodiversity and ecological sustainability within the community.

City officials anticipate that the new park will serve as a recreational hub for residents and improve the overall quality of life in the area. “We want to ensure that all our neighborhoods have access to green spaces that promote health and community engagement,” said Mayor Pat Kearney. “This park will not only provide a gathering space for families but also promote outdoor activities for all ages.”

Construction is expected to begin by late 2026, with the park projected to open in the summer of 2027. Funding for the project will come from the city’s parks and recreation budget, as well as a grant from the provincial government aimed at expanding community recreational amenities. The council is optimistic that this investment will benefit not just Westgrove residents but the entire Spruce Grove community.

Residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming public consultations to provide input on the park's final design and features. City officials are excited to hear from the community and make this park a true reflection of what Spruce Grove families want and need.
