Borden Park Bandshell

Features include:
- Limited power supply
- Two green rooms, each with a 2-piece washroom (not accessible)
- Temporary storage garage
- Parking for one supply vehicle
Connect with our Civic Events team to host an event that exceeds the picnic site capacity or require additional civic services.
Parking is limited near the bandshell. Except where identified by roadside angled parking lots and parking signs, Borden Park Road is predominantly a no parking zone.
- Park in the angled stalls on Borden Park Road
- On main parking lot east of the Borden Park Natural Swimming Pool
Parking is not permitted on any parkland spaces without a Parkland Vehicle Access Permit.
While the bandshell is available for exclusive use, the park is a public space with activities in the surrounding area.
- The Edmonton Exhibition Grounds and the EXPO Centre are located north of the park. Large events taking place in these spaces may impact parking and produce competing sound.
- The Borden Park Natural Swimming Pool and Tennis Courts sit directly east of the stage. Expect to see many people walking nearby.
