The City is continuing to invest in Eau Claire by installing a temporary green space next to Eau Claire Plaza, offering additional opportunities for Calgarians to gather, stay active, and enjoy the downtown core.
While planning continues for its ultimate use as part of the Green Line LRT, the space next to Eau Claire Plaza will be converted into a temporary green space to provide a welcoming, active, and accessible place for residents and visitors. The natural turf field will support activities like informal sports, picnics, and casual recreation.
ECCA has been strongly advocating for usable community space in this area over the past year, and we’re thrilled to see this previously unused site, which was set to become a gravel pit during the Green Line timeline, transformed into something meaningful for our neighbourhood.
Once The City is ready to proceed with the site’s permanent use, the temporary green space will be removed.
Construction was set to begin on October 20, 2025, with anticipated public access in spring 2026. Work will primarily take place during daytime hours to avoid noise disruption at night and will follow all bylaws related to noise and dust control.
