Donsdale

Donsdale, a cozy residential enclave nestled along the picturesque North Saskatchewan River Valley, lies within the West Jasper Place South plan area. Its boundaries are defined by 53rd Avenue to the north, Lessard Road to the west, the Wedgewood Ravine tributary to the south, and the river valley to the east. Primarily developed during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Donsdale retains a blend of modern housing and pre-existing country residential charm. Embracing its natural surroundings, the neighborhood harmoniously integrates with the river valley and ravine systems, boasting significant wildlife habitats and scenic viewpoints. Featuring predominantly single-detached homes, Donsdale also offers pockets of medium-density housing, including low-rise apartments along Lessard Road, with plans for additional multi-family dwellings. A quaint neighborhood park, overlooking the Wedgewood Ravine, adds to the allure, offering residents a serene lookout point and access to the local ravine network. Named after Frank Doncaster, an esteemed landowner of the mid-1940s, Donsdale’s legacy continues to grace Edmonton’s map with its tranquil residential charm.
