Explore Station Park, Edmonton’s first shipping container hub, with a tour, talk, and bites—design, placemaking, and bold ideas collide!

Step inside the story of Station Park: Edmonton’s first shipping container park! Discover how bold ideas and innovative design came together to transform an unconventional concept into a community hub.
