Riverdale, Edmonton

Riverdale, Edmonton

. Riverdale's boundary with the downtown core runs approximately along Grierson Hill Road.

The neighbourhood was a popular site with early residents of the city of Edmonton, and soon had both a lumbermill and brickyard with fuel supplied by coal mined from nearby cliffs in the river valley. [See the neighborhood description in the [maps.edmonton.ca map utility] on the City of Edmonton web site.]

Today, approximately one residential dwelling in four dates from before 1946. Most of the rest of the homes were built over the next 40 years, with only one dwelling in ten dating from 1985 or later.

There is one school, Riverdale School, located in the neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood also has several parks: Allan Stein Park, Dawson Park, Louise McKinney Park, and Louise McKinney Riverfront Park.
