Playground Updates!!!
Pleasantview is getting a reNEWed playground !! It has been a long process (over five years!) Pleasantview received a CFEP grant from the Government of Alberta in late 2023 along with City of Edmonton funding and the Pleasantview Community league board support to renew the playground at Angus Murray Park (beside the tennis courts/hall/hockey rink).
Construction will begin June/July 2024 and be completed this year!! This is a very exciting time for all of the dedicated VOLUNTEERS who have and continue to put in the time to make this happen. Thank you for your continued effort and support.
NEW: Final Design has been selected in part by community vote and City of Edmonton project team. Construction will begin mid - June until fall 2024.
For more information, check out the Playground Updates page in the navigation bar!

Catch Basins:
Our crews are working 24/7 to respond to catch basin ponding requests. Catch basins are the drains in your neighbourhood that allow water to drain into the storm water system. Thank you to the residents who are submitting those catch basin requests through 311. There are over 63,000 catch basins across the city, so knowing where these issues are helps us get to them in a timely manner.
Did you know? The Open Data Portal has a map of every catch basin here: https://data.edmonton.ca/Externally-Sourced-Datasets/Drainage-Map-View-Catch-Basin-Leads/8ma6-xpt5
