Dovercourt is a residential neighbourhood in north west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. While the area was originally annexed by the City of Edmonton in 1913, residential development did not occur until after the end of World War II.[6]
The neighbourhood is bounded on the west by 142 Street, on the east by St. Albert Trail, on the north by Yellowhead Trail, and on the south by 118 Avenue. Dovercourt Avenue passes through the neighbourhood. The community is represented by the Dovercourt Community League, established in 1955, which maintains a community hall and outdoor rink located at 135 Street and Dovercourt Avenue.[7][8]
Dovercourt is bounded by the Yellowhead Highway to the north. Surrounding neighborhoods south of the Yellowhead are Sherbrooke to the east, Inglewood to the southeast, Woodcroft to the south, and Huff Bremner Estate to the southeast.
