Evergreen Mobile Home Park [Also called Evergreen Trailer Park] is a mobile home park located in the rural north east area of the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In 1987, fifteen people in the park were killed and almost 200 homes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair when the Edmonton Tornado swept through the park at the north end of its 40 km (25 mile) long path of death and destruction. Today, the park is a thriving community with approximately 1500 people and 640 homes. [The 1987 Edmonton tornado was the second worst in Canadian history in terms of the numbr of deaths, killing a total of 27 people. The worst tornado was in Regina in 1912, which killed 28 people.

Evergreen is located in an area of Edmonton called "Rural North East South Sturgeon" immediately to the north west of the intersection between Meridian Street and 167 Avenue. Established around 1970, most of the growth in the park occurred between 1970 and 1979. Over half the trailers, or mobile homes, were moved into the neighbourhood at this time. According to media reports, the number of homes in the park was around 700 on the day the tornado hit in 1987. Since "Black Friday", the number of trailers in the park declined, and currently stands at around 640. [The tornado hit on July 31, 1987. This day is often called Black Friday.] Most of the homes are owner occupied.
