A new park in downtown Edmonton will be ready for families to use just in time for summer. "So we had a discussion about the potential of maybe having a playground," Davie said. "I noticed there wasn't any other playground within [the] downtown community and I thought we need one. The city got on board with the idea, as did the Edmonton Police Foundation, EPSB, the Downtown Edmonton Community League, Maclab Properties Group and architecture firm Manasc Isaac helped with the park design. "So having a playground downtown, having more families come downtown, having them linger, having them live — it's going to increase the amount of business in the area."
