Welcome to Woodcroft Community League!
Founded in 1957, to provide a skating facility for neighbourhood children, Woodcroft Community League has always been a positive force in promoting active living. The community league is located in Coronation Park, named in honour of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Today, Woodcroft Community League flourishes with a playground, spray park, community hall, and an outdoor rink for public skating and shinny hockey. Community activities include community BBQs, sports programs and camps for children, and a Moms’ Group, to name a few.
In 2010 our Community League worked with Lehigh Cement to relocate their residential air monitoring station from the historic Queen Elizabeth Planetarium to the Woodcroft Hall. In response to concerns raised by the local communities, this residential site was originally selected to provide representative data of air quality in a residential area following Lehigh Cement’s approval to convert primary fuel types from natural gas to coal. .This station monitors air quality in the area on a real-time basis for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) as well as wind direction, wind speed and temperature. Lehigh Cement also collects particulate matter samples every six days and analyzes the collected material for heavy metal content. Data from this station is reported to Alberta Environment on a monthly basis and real-time data is also publically available.”
Our continued partnerships with the Woodcroft Community Playschool and the Alberta St. George of England Society also bring many additional services to our community. The Woodcroft Playschool provides a preschool experience for children ages 3 and 4 from September to May. The Alberta St. George Society of England provides a book club, ballroom dancing, and many social activities that include high caliber entertainment. All of these programs and activities are based out of the Woodcroft Hall.
We are entering an exciting time in the history of Woodcroft as we rebuild our playground (Spring of 2011) and undergo our community reconstruction project in 2011 and 2012. The community reconstruction includes the replacement of old infrastructure such as light standards, sewer pipes, sidewalks etc.
If you would like to be a part of the planning for the immediate future of our community, come out to a Community League Board meeting on the third Thursday of the month, 7:00 pm at our hall at 13915-115 Ave. Your ideas and input are valued!
