Rossdale, Edmonton

Rossdale is a river valley neighbourhood in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, located immediately south of the downtown core. It is a popular residential neighbourhood with easy access to downtown, the University of Alberta, the Edmonton river valley park system, and other amenities. RE /MAX Field, home to the Edmonton Prospects baseball team of the Western Major Baseball League since 2012, is located in this neighbourhood. The Edmonton Trappers also called Edmonton Ballpark, then Telus Field, home up to the end of the 2004 season, when the franchise was moved to another city. A short distance to the west of the neighbourhood, along River Valley Road, are the Royal Glenora Club, the Golf Course, and the Skating Oval in Victoria Park. Archaeology and historyThe site of the Rossdale powerplant was a First Nations campsite from the time that people first moved into the Edmonton area after the retreat of the glaciers around 8, 000 years ago. In the early 1800s it was used as the site for the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Edmonton and the North West Company's Fort Augustus, although this was only a theory until 2012 when a trench thought to be part of stockade wall was unearthed.
