Larkspur

Nestled within the picturesque Meadows Area of southeast Edmonton, Larkspur exudes a tranquil charm, situated east of Mill Woods and south of Whitemud Drive. Bounded by Whitemud Drive to the north, 17th Street to the east, 38th Avenue to the south, and 34th Street to the west, Larkspur boasts a well-planned layout adopted by City Council in 1987. Its vibrant tapestry began weaving in the late 1980s, with residential construction flourishing until the 2000s, offering a harmonious blend of single-detached homes and multi-family residences designed around a cohesive road network. Enhancing its allure, a scenic linear park graces the neighborhood’s north-south length, once a pipeline corridor, while a bustling commercial hub adorns the southeastern corner along 17th Street. At its heart lies a cherished school and park site, radiating warmth and community spirit, as Larkspur’s name pays homage to the resplendent ornamental wildflower, symbolizing the area’s blossoming beauty amid Edmonton’s Meadows.
