The Community

Living in a small community in Devon is both friendly and welcoming. Residents enjoy the small town charm and neighbourhood appeal while being close to the city of Edmonton. Discovery Place’s location is ideal for its close proximity to the Devon General Hospital, as well as local restaurants, shops, pharmacies, medical clinics and other services. Residents can also enjoy the common grounds, nearby trails and gardens as well as attend the town’s various annual events.

Town of Devon

Devon is situated in the north central area of the Province of Alberta, lying 26 km southwest of the City of Edmonton. This community adjoins the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. It initially emerged as a service centre catering to the oil and gas sector. Today, the new business ventures are helping to diversify its economy, while the oil industry continues to dominate Devon’s business sector. In addition to it, the commercial sector is also growing and creating new opportunities for professional retail and service-oriented businesses.

 

Devon is home to many attractions and events throughout the year. Some of the nearby venues to take advantage of include:

The Devonian Botanic Garden: It is a scenic collection of attractive gardens that includes the excellent 5-acre Kurimoto Japanese Garden.

The Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary: It is a 300-acre nature preserve comprised of meadow, marshes, pine, and aspen woodland that will be open to the public year-round.

 

Discovery Place is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood, and also takes pride in its close proximity to:

The Devon General Hospital (Open 24 hours) (2 blocks away from Discovery Place)

The Edmonton International Airport (20-minute drive from Discovery Place)

The University of Alberta Devonian Gardens (10-minute drive from Discovery Place)
