Jack Long Park
Jack Long Park, the green space directly west of the Alexandra Centre in Inglewood, is undergoing a redevelopment to improve the community park space. The park will feature paved areas that will serve as flexible spaces for small concerts/theatre events, food truck servicing, market kiosks, or other arts/cultural uses.
The park will have open lawn spaces, picnic areas, a playground, a rain garden and sculptural elements donated by the Inglewood BRZ Business Revitalization Zone. New seating and a custom family-style harvest table surrounded by trees and shrubs will provide a variety of spaces to sit and enjoy the park.
PROVIDE YOUR INPUT
Construction is well underway to redevelop Jack Long Park into a new cultural hub for the community. Before the park is scheduled to reopen this fall, The City is looking for input from local community members on one of the park’s design features – new custom bike racks. Please review the following presentation and photos and then provide your selection for preferred design.
Confluence - Jack Long Park sits at the confluence of the Bow and the Elbow rivers, at the gateway to one of Calgary’s first communities. People have been gathering here for centuries. Inspiration: Mohkinstsis
Inglewood Bridge - The 9 Ave S.E. Inglewood Bridge served the Inglewood community for 110 years. Built in 1908-1909, the bridge uses a Parker Camelback design typical of the time. Jack Long Park now sits near the location of the original bridge. Inspiration: Historic buildings
Guitars - Inglewood is a community known for a thriving music scene. From The Ironwood to the Blues Can, you can count on great music on 9 Ave S.E. any night of the week. Inspiration: Inglewood’s Music Mile
