Downtown Edmonton’s new Event Park, located at the current Fan Park @ ICE District site next to Rogers Place, will be designed in partnership by architecture firms DIALOG and HNTB.

The firms were selected after a request-for-proposal (RFP) selection process led by OEG Sports & Entertainment (OEGSE) and the City of Edmonton.

The team will work together to deliver a collaborative design for the new Event Park by transforming public spaces, enhancing downtown vibrancy, and improving resident and visitor experiences.

The project will be a world-class indoor-outdoor entertainment and community destination in downtown Edmonton, combining exceptional acoustics and state-of-the-art staging, sound, and lighting with flexible, community-accessible spaces that can host touring acts, headline performances, cultural gatherings, festivals, and sporting events.

By integrating advanced infrastructure with inclusive public spaces, Event Park will drive strong community engagement while serving as Alberta’s premier multi-use event hub, delivering lasting social, cultural, and economic benefits.

Design is now underway with construction expected to begin in 2027.
