St. Albert Place

St. Albert Place is pretty awesome and houses soooooo much more than you could ever imagine! From the library to the business licensing department and the Heritage Museum, if it’s city council/​government related, you can probably find it here.
I LOVE Love LOVE, did I mention that I LOVE that fact that this is the centre hub for the outdoor summer farmer’s market?!? Indoor washrooms, clean, cool, air conditioned AND the kiddos and you can even take a break in the library if you need to rest your feet for a bit and cool off before venturing back out to Western Canada’s largest outdoor farmer’s market!
My kiddos love the piano they put outside in the summer to play and the creative bronze statues in the front. Of course, don’t forget the Sturgeon River promenade on the North and West side of the building which connects to our trails.
And let’s not forget the Arden theatre which is also housed here!
Parking can be challenging at times but that pretty much goes the same in any city and face it, we are lucky in St. Albert that we don’t have to pay to park «downtown.»
My family is probably in this building at least once a week if not more in the summer and we’ve never had an issue with cleanliness, seating, or ample washroom availability! When can you say that? We’ll be seeing you soon St. Albert Place :-)

This building is a hub of activity for St. Albert. Within is housed the public library, museum, Arden Theatre, and more. Beautifully designed, well-​lit, and very spacious.

This is where the arts and local politics live in harmony. It houses St. Albert City Hall, The Arden Theatre, a museum, art gallery, library and much more!
On my recent visit, I discovered that they’ve moved the infamous St. Albert Farmers’ Market inside St. Albert Place on Saturdays. What a great idea!
It’s such an architecturally astounding brick building, centrally located. Everyone in St. Albert knows where it is. They’ve even upgraded some of the spaces outside in the back along the river where the Red Willow Park begins — at the 0 km point.
