Rosenthal is West-end living with real everyday perks: lit trails, landscaped ponds, a destination spray park, and a floral playground—all within a newer, master-planned community that keeps day-to-day driving simple. If you want calm streets plus weekend-ready green space on your doorstep, Rosenthal deserves a walk-through. (Live in Rosenthal)
Where It Is (and why that helps)
Rosenthal sits in Lewis Farms on Edmonton’s far west side. Its borders are 231 Street (west), the future extension of Webber Greens Drive/87 Avenue (north), Winterburn Road/215 Street (east), and Whitemud Drive (south). That southern edge gives you a direct east–west corridor, while the clear boundary roads make local navigation straightforward. Established as a neighbourhood in 2009. (Wikipedia)
Parks, Play, and Open Space (you’ll actually use these)
This community was designed to get people outside, together:
~5 km of lit multi-use trails linking homes, parks, and ponds
Water features throughout: waterfalls, fountains, a lit bridge, and benches along “babbling brooks”
A destination spray park and floral-themed playground with two age-appropriate zones
Mini-BMX track for younger riders
Four-season spaces: a toboggan hill and open grassy fields
A growing community garden for neighbourly connections
These aren’t token pocket parks—you can spend a full morning here without leaving the neighbourhood. (Live in Rosenthal)
Trails: Rosenthal’s everyday differentiator
The lit path network is built for real life: evening stroller loops, quick dog walks, and kid-friendly bike rides that connect directly to parks and water features—without crossing major roads. It’s scenic and practical. (Live in Rosenthal)
Water, Landscaping, and Streetscapes
Curated landscaping—ponds with fountains, a lit bridge, seating nooks—turns short walks into destinations. Architectural controls guide siding colours, stone accents, and landscaping standards, keeping a cohesive, tidy look as the neighbourhood matures. (Live in Rosenthal)
Community Spirit: League, HOA, and how things run
Rosenthal’s Community League organizes local programs and events (think family activities, seasonal gatherings, and neighbourhood initiatives). Separately, the Homeowners Association (HOA) maintains enhanced features like community entries, boulevards, and other assets not covered by the City; membership is tied to property ownership. (The League and HOA are distinct organizations.) (rosenthalcommunityleague.ca, rosenthalhoa.com, Live in Rosenthal)
A Two-Hour “Sample Saturday” (try this loop)
Trail lap around the ponds on the lit multi-use paths.
Play stop at the floral playground; little riders can pop over to the mini-BMX.
Cool-down at the spray park; grab a bench by the water to watch the fountains.
Second loop at an easier pace—same paths feel brand-new with a different rhythm. (Live in Rosenthal)
