Rossdale, Edmonton

Rossdale is a river valley neighbourhood in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, located immediately south of the downtown core. It is a popular residential neighbourhood with easy access to downtown, the University of Alberta, the Edmonton river valley park system, and other amenities.

Telus Field, home to the Edmonton Capitals baseball team of the North American League since 2005, is located in this neighbourhood. The Edmonton Trappers also called Telus Field home up to the end of the 2004 season, when the franchise was moved to another city.

A short distance to the west of the neighbourhood, along River Valley Road, are the Victoria Golf Course, Victoria Park, and the Royal Glenora Club.

Archaeology and history

The site of the Rossdale powerplant was a First Nations campsite from the time that people first moved into the Edmonton area after the retreat of the glaciers around 8,000 years ago. In the early 1800s it was used as the site for the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Edmonton and the North West Company's Fort Augustus, although this was only a theory until 2012 when a trench thought to be part of stockade wall was unearthed.
