Parkland County

Parkland County is an administrative district in central Alberta, stretching west of Edmonton across forested and agricultural land. The region contains several small communities and hamlets surrounded by farms and industrial areas.

The district was established in 1969 to create structured governance for this region of central Alberta. This formation allowed communities and businesses to develop with coordinated services and planning.

The region maintains strong ties to farming and ranching that shape daily life and the landscape you see when traveling through. These agricultural traditions continue to define how communities here connect with the land.

Much of the area is spread out and lightly populated, so having a car is essential for getting around to different spots. Clear weather makes exploring easier since many roads pass through open or wooded terrain.

The area contains protected natural spaces like the Wagner Natural Area and Clifford E Lee Nature Sanctuary where you can find rare plants and wildlife in their natural settings. The University of Alberta Botanic Garden also sits within the region, offering walking trails through cultivated gardens.
