At the end of October, the city council approved a large 15-metre aerial park to be built at Snow Valley in south Edmonton. It will be the first of its kind in Canada, drawing inspiration from like structions that are very popular in the U.S. and Germany. Here’s a little more information about what to expect from the aerial park and when it will be open for you to enjoy.
