Rosenthal: Edmonton Community Spotlight

Journey to the west side of the city and you’ll find the new community of Rosenthal in Edmonton. One of the most vibrant communities in Alberta, Rosenthal offers all kinds of amenities and events for its residents. Here are just a few things that you’ll enjoy when you move to this beautiful new neighbourhood.

SO MUCH GREEN SPACE TO EXPLORE

Edmonton is home to so many parks, paths and walking trails that it’s earned the nickname “the ribbon of green.” Rosenthal is part of this designation, offering several parks and playgrounds within the community and even more when you expand your radius to include all of Edmonton. You’ll always have somewhere to walk the dog or host a barbecue on a nice summer night, so don’t be afraid to pull up a map and unfurl the ribbon.

ROSENTHAL SPRAY PARK & PLAYGROUND

Beat the heat in the summer with a family-friendly spray park! Kids will love running around the maypoles and splashing in the cool, colourful tubes; adults will appreciate the fine mist that periodically sprays their faces and keeps their temperature down during Alberta’s balmy months. The Rosenthal Spray Park & Playground is a very popular destination in the summertime, so you’re sure to meet people and make some new friends in the neighbourhood while you’re there.

RIVER CREE RESORT AND CASINO

There’s so much to experience at the River Cree Resort and Casino that you’ll have to return again and again just to try it all. Don’t worry about the casino part if you’re not a fan of gambling; the resort offers so much more than slot machines.

For example, there are a half-dozen bars, restaurants and coffee shops serving luxurious cuisine from all around the world. There are also live shows of music, comedy and theatre every week. It’s the perfect place for date night after you’ve left the kids with the babysitter.

CLOSE TO WEST EDMONTON MALL & OTHER GREAT AMENITIES

Right across the street from the River Cree is the holy grail of stores; Costco! You can gas up, get groceries, stock up on some wine, and even take a hot pizza or rotisserie chicken home for dinner.

On the other side of this budding commercial area you’ll find a growing list of popular stores including a Dollar Tree, Safeway, and a Rexall Pharmacy. There’s also some great fast food options like Wendy’s, KFC, and Tim Horton’s close by.

If you are looking for more shopping, dining and retail stores to check out, being just a short drive away from one of the biggest shopping centres in the world is a huge perk of living in the Rosenthal community.

With more than 800 stores spread across five million square feet, West Edmonton Mall is the biggest mall in all of North America. You can lose yourself for hours among its shops, boutiques and cafes, and that’s not even getting into its big-ticket attractions like Mayfield Toyota Ice Palace and the indoor amusement park known as Galaxyland. If you’re looking for an exciting day where you can do all of your shopping and finish with a great meal on Bourbon Street, you’ll love being close to WEM.

NEXT TO THE WEST HENDAY PROMENADE

Did you think we were done talking about amenities? Not yet! This is your sign that life in Rosenthal means you’ll be close to it all, including the West Henday Promenade.

This neighbourhood shopping centre includes all of your favourite fast food joints and household stores. Drop the kids off at Brightpath Early Learning and Child Care; pick up your prescriptions at the Shoppers Drug Mart; cool off with a delicious ice cream cone from Dairy Queen. This convenient commercial development is the kind of place where you just walk around on a lazy afternoon and see where your mood takes you.

LEWIS FARMS COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRE

Though in the construction preparation stage, this recreational centre is poised to outshine everything else in Rosenthal and even all of Edmonton for that matter!

It will offer pools, gymnasiums, ice rinks, boulder walls and fitness centres while also housing a library branch, an academic centre, and a district park. Even better, the district park would include playgrounds, baseball fields, and skateboard parks, so there would be no end to the things you could see and do in the Lewis Farms Community Recreation Centre. Developers say it will be money well spent for this world-class facility.
