King Edward Park is a residential neighbourhood on south east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The neighbourhood was originally annexed by Edmonton in 1912.
The neighbourhood is bounded on the north by Whyte Avenue, on the east by 71 Street and on the south by 76 Avenue. To the west, the neighbourhood overlooks the Mill Creek Ravine. Whyte Avenue provides access to the night life and shopping in Old Strathcona as well as the north campus of the University of Alberta.
The University of Alberta Faculté Saint-Jean campus is located immediately to the north of King Edward Park in the adjoining neighbourhood of Bonnie Doon, as is the Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre.
The community is represented by the King Edward Park Community League, established in 1921, which maintains a community hall, outdoor rink and tennis courts located at 85 Street and 77 Avenue.[6][7]
