Legislature Plaza, Pedestrian square in Central Core, Edmonton, Canada.
Legislature Plaza is a public square in Edmonton's downtown core featuring wide walkways, open gathering spaces, and landscaped areas. The site accommodates community events and social gatherings throughout the year.
The plaza was developed in the 1970s and featured distinctive water elements including a reflecting pool, an ornamental fountain, and terraced wading pools. These water features became defining characteristics of the site.
This public space hosts various civic ceremonies, community celebrations, and cultural events that strengthen social bonds among residents while serving as a venue for public discourse and local traditions.
The plaza is accessible by public transit and located near street parking options. The flat, open design makes it easy to navigate and explore the different sections on foot.
The current renovation incorporates granite boulders sourced from local Alberta farms and digitally scanned for texture mapping. These stones are arranged to create an undulating landscape reflecting the province's geological character.
