Railyards Rejuvinated

Edmonotn has a strong tie to the railway. This section of downtwon was once part of a large railyard. Where there once was tracks and trains there is now a beautiful park amongst all the new condos

@http365proj It is one of my favorite downtown parks

[Shanne]

great reuse of the space, the arch is lovely

[Maaikel]

Nice a nice one for the sign challenge I started for september. So sad that railways seems to be something of the past in North-America! Here in Europe it's really the futere with more and more trains that go over 300 km/hr.

@maaikel Well they keep talking about coming up with a high speed train betwen Edmonton and Calgary which are the two largest cities in Alberta

[bkb in the city]

@shanne It really is. After the railyard shut down this was just a lot of empty space over grown with weeds

[Mary]

Nice arch and backgroung.

@buttercup Thanks Mary

[karenann]

Wow! Gorgeous place and great catch of it! Noticed how many beautiful walking places that you have in your city.

[bkb in the city]

@karenann Yes that we do have. It makes for getting out and about much more enjoyable

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very lovely shot. The greenery makes so lush looking.

[Janet Morris]

Looks like a lovely place, especially with all the greenery.

[Juliette Packham]

I love railway memorabilia - this is a fabulous archway to your park,

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like how they made the archway look industrial like the railyard it used to be. What a great way to keep the space open and reuse it for something that benefits everyone. Edomonton is truly a smart city!

[Diane]

Great shot--love how the arch frames the scene. I agree with Ann in the previous comment--the arch is reminiscent of the industrial past, but now the city has a lovely park.

[bkb in the city]
