Castle Downs District Park is located in the Dunluce neighbourhood. The Park services all the communities in Castle Downs with a population of over 55,000, as well as draws from other neighbourhoods east of 97 Street and South of 137 Avenue. This park is located in Northwest Edmonton and is 18.35 hectares in size.
The first planning for the Castle Downs District Park started in 1983, and was grade levelled and seeded in 1986. The first stage of the Master Plan from 2001 was the upgrading and expansion of an existing playground and water spray park. Pathways were added for access to the site in the form of biking and walking trails from the surrounding communities
The amenity building for Castle Downs District Park will include washrooms and facilities. The fundamental concept for the design is a community friendly and flexible structure. Community space and public washrooms are the primary programmatic elements. The structure shall be designed for LEED Silver rating and shall include a high standard for day lighting and natural ventilation.
