Built Around Green Space

In Griesbach, nature and green spaces aren’t an afterthought — it’s been at the foundation of the community’s design since the development launched. With over 23% of the land dedicated to open green space, residents enjoy a lifestyle surrounded by parks, pathways, mature trees, and scenic water features.

There are four beautiful lakes woven into the neighbourhood’s design, along with kilometres of paved trails perfect for walking, biking, jogging, or strollers. Whether you’re meeting friends for a walk, taking the dog out, or finding a quiet bench to enjoy your coffee, there’s always somewhere to go and enjoy a beautiful view.

Families will love the playgrounds scattered throughout, including park spaces connected to the school grounds and hidden gems just waiting to be discovered on a weekend stroll.

It’s this intentional blend of nature and neighbourhood that makes Griesbach feel so special – all while keeping you right in the heart of North Edmonton.
