Terwillegar Park, formerly Riverbend Park, lies in a bend of the North Saskatchewan River, west of Rhatigan Ridge neighbourhood. In the early 1900s this land was used for ranching and later, as a gravel pit. When the area was restructured as a park, the gravel pits were turned into ponds and trails. Over the years, the area was commonly identified by this name. The park's development plan calls for picnic and winter sports areas, an administration building, a nature centre, a boathouse and a number of trails that connect with existing river valley trails. Terwillegar Park is west of the Riverbend subdivision and has an area of 174.88 ha.

The High Level Bridge is a great way to cross the river if you don't want to go down into the valley and climb back up. Great connector between Downtown and the University of Alberta.

Constable Ezio Faraone Park

Highlight • Monument

This park overlooks the LRT and Highlevel bridges. Just across 109 street from the legislature and right near downtown. Constable Ezio Joseph Faraone (1957-1990) was a dedicated city police officer who was killed in the line of duty. A ten-year veteran of the force, Faraone was the third Edmonton police officer since 1918 to be killed while on duty.
The 33-year-old officer, a member of the elite task force unit, was gunned down on June 25, 1990, as he approached a car believed to have been used in a bank robbery. Two men were later convicted of his murder. In the wake of Faraone’s killing, new police policy was adopted requiring all task force members to wear bullet-proof vests.
The Ezio Faraone Park includes a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of the late police officer by Edmonton artist Danek Mozdzenski. The sculpture depicts a uniformed Faraone kneeling beside a young boy. The park commemorates not only Faraone but also Edmonton’s two other slain officers, Const. Frank Beevers (d. 1918) and Const. William Leslie Nixon (d. 1919); both men were shot by assailants. The 4.25-ha. park, at the north end of the High Level Bridge, was officially
opened on 21 June 1992.
