Elmwood Park
Elmwood Park, though small, exudes a cozy charm within its compact confines. Surrounded by major roadways, except for 122nd Avenue, the neighborhood is neatly nestled within its urban landscape. Multi-family structures dot 82nd Street, while the heart of Elmwood Park comprises mainly single-detached homes, a testament to its post-WWII origins. Constructed primarily in the late 1940s and 1950s, these homes reflect a historic era of returning veterans and their families. Anchored by commercial spaces in the northeast corner, Elmwood Park offers convenient access to essential services and employment hubs via Yellowhead Trail, Wayne Gretzky Drive, and Fort Road. Formerly known as Grierson Estate, the neighborhood’s renaming circa 1945 underscores its enduring legacy and evolving identity over the years.
