There\u2019s still time to get outdoors this season, and Edmonton is home to some great parks that absolutely burst with colour in the fall.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to take a stroll, ride a bike, or just enjoy nature this fall, we\u2019ve rounded up some of the best parks in Edmonton to visit to scratch that itch.
