Overlooking the North Saskatchewan River and Mill Creek Ravine, Strathcona is located in the South Central part of Edmonton. Local residents enjoy the close proximity to Old Strathcona, University of Alberta, and the coveted River Valley. This central location provides ideal access to downtown Edmonton, Whyte Avenue, outdoor recreation including Mill Creek Pool, Queen Elizabeth Pool, and Kinsmen Recreation Centre. Just South of 86 Avenue is the Strathcona Rail Community Garden for those neighborhood green thumbs.
