Beautiful fireworks.

Especially during the holiday season it offers light installations and a figure skating area. Great for kids.

Great art installation in summer but insane people around

A bit of water is a nice contrast to the concrete bleakness of Churchill Square. In the winter it's an outdoor skating rink with free skate rentals within certain hours (they've varied over the years, so it's best to look it up). It also benefits more from the presence of tall trees and greenery than Churchill Square does. It's definitely less of an oven in the summer and the shape of City Hall means it doesn't suffer from Churchill Square's horrible wind tunnel effect.

Lots of activities! When I was there you could skate on the ice in front of the city hall for free, there was free coffee and tea, a small ball hockey area with two nets, and more!

We celebrated the new year of 2023 here and this plaza is big and wide open. In summer has water fountain around and in winter it changes to skate ring. Has some monuments of key people for Alberta. Worth a visit if you are at Edmonton downtown. Close to the city centre mall, museums, and public transit.

Well maintained, good parking and accessible by train. It's very well secured, so good place to work on your laptop as it's also very quiet.

We always enjoy coming to the fountain when it's hot. Good place to bring your kids... Well maintained with staff onsite and keeping the place safe.

Pride festival in full swing today. Come down to City Hall Plaza and enjoy live entertainment, great food and drink, and great weather.

Right by the sir Winston Churchill square and the Churchill station. Very modern design and good place to relax. There is a statue to commemorate the soldiers who participate in the wars.
