Windermere ASP Consolidation - City of Edmonton

Develop land in an efficient and harmonious
manner and encourage intensive development.
Encourage naturalized landscaping on public and
private lands to minimise environmental and
economic costs associated with their maintenance.
5.7.2 Concept
The ASP vision is guided by concepts derived from the Future
School Sites Study to strengthen the delivery, adaptability and
future sustainability of school / park sites in Southwest Edmonton.
Linked by a system of walkways corridors and green spaces, the
concept will evolve into an impressive recreational amenity for
existing and future generations.
Within the ASP, a hierarchy of community facilities and services
are located throughout the plan area in order to optimize the
effective delivery of schools sites, recreation facilities and interneighbourhood
focal points. These include neighbourhood parks,
community knowledge campuses, a district campus and series of
intra- and inter-community open space connections. These
provide significant place-making opportunities for neighbourhood,
community and district focal-points to emerge from park sites,
schools, playgrounds and sports fields.
Four community catchment areas connected by a series of
integrated open space linkages comprise the plan area (see
Figure 8.0 – Integrated Community Circulation System). These
consist of a series of Neighbourhood Parks and a Community
Knowledge Campus. A District Campus is envisioned centrally
within Windermere located along Terwillegar Drive at 25 Avenue
SW. The Windermere ASP encourages Joint Use Site
opportunities that enhance school-community bonds, support
collaborative planning of shared sites, and increase the overall
efficiency and effectiveness of community resources.
