Virginia Park, Edmonton

Virginia Park is a neighbourhood in north east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is located between the North Saskatchewan River valley to the south and Northlands Park to the north. Its eastern boundary overlooks Wayne Gretzky Drive. Its western boundary is a jagged line running south along the western edge of Borden Park (78 Street), then east along 112 Avenue, then south along 76 Street to the river valley.

Two notable features of the neighbourhood are Borden Park and Concordia University College [While many people think of Concordia University College as being located in Highlands, official city neighbourhood boundaries place it in Virginia Park, with Highlands being located east of Wayne Gretzky Drive. See the City of Edmonton [http://maps.edmonton.ca Map Utility] .]

In addition to Concordia University College, Concordia High School and Virginia Park Elementary School are also located in Virginia Park.

The area was originally subdivided prior to World War I, however, three out of four private dwellings data from after the end of World War II. Most dwellings are either walk up apartments in buildings with fewer than five stories or single family dwellings. While a large number of single family dwellings are owner occupied, over 50% of the residences in Virginia Park are rented.
