About the park

The City is currently undertaking improvements at Munro Park, situated at the intersection of 18 Avenue and Edmonton Trail N.E. in Winston Heights and Mountview communities.

Established in 1948, Munro Park has a rich history. During the first half of the 20th century, Winston Heights/Mountview was home to rural homesteads provided to World War II veterans. The park is positioned within one block of Main Street and the Primary Transit Network corridors and is a pivotal component of the evolving landscape.

While Munro Park is already well-utilized, there is ample potential to enrich the local community further, stimulate business activities, and enhance connectivity in the area. While the City has already implemented some improvements, a vision remains to introduce playful amenities and seamlessly connect different park spaces, fostering creativity, enjoyment, and inclusivity throughout all seasons.

Identified as part of the City of Calgary’s Established Area Growth and Change Strategy (EAGCS), the Munro Park Improvement Project aims to enhance the quality and capacity of the existing park by introducing appropriate amenities. Our overarching goal is to elevate Munro Park as a vibrant destination community park, catering to the needs of neighbourhood residents and visitors alike, promoting active living, supporting area growth, and fostering community cohesion. The City is committed to considering the surrounding communities’ needs, prioritizing traffic calming and pedestrian access, and providing seasonal-appropriate uses and programming. The conceptual design for Phase 2 improvements will align with engagement findings and address the needs of civic partners and interest holders.

Phase 1 construction of the Masterplan for Munro Park was completed in 2017, incorporating a walking/running track with exercise nodes, additional picnic areas, tree planting, shrubbery, and the removal of the baseball diamond.

Current engagement efforts aim to refine design proposals outlined in Phase 2 improvements of the park Masterplan, completed in 2014. Proposed enhancements include an upgraded playground, a small skatepark, additional pathways, and a drinking fountain. Public engagement processes will shape the final scope of work.

The "What We Heard" report with the most recent engagement findings will be released in the spring of 2024, followed by the development of detailed design concepts in the summer of 2024.

Construction for park improvements is anticipated to commence in 2025, with a planned reopening in the fall of the same year*.

*Construction activities are dependent on several factors. Timelines may change due to inclement weather, complexity, supply chain, and/or other unexpected circumstances.
