These historically rich neighbourhoods were originally annexed by the Town of Strathcona in 1907 and then became part of the City of Edmonton in 1912 when these two cities amalgamated. By 1915 Cloverdale was abuzz with homes, stores, a school and churches; however most of Strathearn and Bonnie Doon remained undeveloped until the late 1940s and early 1950s. Scottish for “pleasant rolling countryside”, Bonnie Doon was named in honour of Premier Alexander Cameron’s Scottish descent (Canadian-born), who owned land east of Mill Creek. A stroll through Bonnie Doon provides opportunities to explore Edmonton’s francophone university campus, wander down one of the many entry points into the Millcreek ravine, or play with your children at the community playground and splash park. Bordering Bonnie Doon to the north is Strathearn. Scottish Gaelic for “Valley of the river Earn” the name is likely a reference to Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn and the Canadian Viceroy during the first years of WW1. Perched atop the North Saskatchewan River Valley, Strathearn offers easy access to the river valley park system and provides commanding views of the valley from vantage points along Strathearn Drive and Strathearn Crescent. Enjoy the local shops off 95 th avenue or grab a coffee and head to Silver Heights playground and splash park for some family recreation. North of Strathearn sits Cloverdale, Edmonton’s “Village in the Park”. The iconic Muttart Conservatory and the century old Edmonton Ski Club are located here and Gallagher Park provides the stage for the annual Edmonton Folk Festival. Charming homes, park spaces and access to Edmonton’s great river valley trail system have become a major attraction of this historic neighbourhood for both residents and visitors alike.
