Yes! Centrally located within Trumpeter is Trumpeter Landing, a 10-acre Urban Village Park complete with a toboggan hill, park and playground.

Trumpeter was designed to include low impact development features that help preserve the natural environment and lessen our human footprint, including:

• Bioswales – the natural vegetation used in the medians throughout the community, they act as the community’s natural water filtration system, ensuring the water that goes back into Big Lake is as clean or cleaner than it was before.
• Wildlife Corridors – provide safe passage for the native wildlife and prevent excessive human-wildlife interaction, keeping Trumpeter safe for all its residents.
• Low-light LED streetlamps – to minimize light pollution and keep the community bird friendly for the 235 bird species that also call Trumpeter home.
• Natural vegetation, wetlands and ponds throughout the community.

Yes, Trumpeter does have a Homeowners’ Associations. It’s responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the stone walls and inserts along the stone walls. In the future, when the association is turned over to the residents of Trumpeter, the homeowners association could further use resources for additional maintenance (over and above the City’s maintenance) in keeping Trumpeter’s parks, trails, landscaping and other features beautifully maintained. Though not yet established, the homeowners association annual fee is anticipated to be approximately $100.

In addition to a Homeowners’ Association, Trumpeter is a part of the Big Lake Community League. This is an initiative created by residents for the betterment of the community, including managing and directing social and recreation activities, acting as an intervener in civic matters, and planning, developing and maintaining any community facilities and amenities outside of the development plan. The Big Lake Community League currently arranges the annual community barbecue and they were behind the creation of the skating rink in the Urban Village Park.

There is no current fee associated with the community league and any fees would be at their discretion.

Big Lake is one of the most naturally scenic areas in Edmonton. Neighbouring Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, the community is surrounded by 1,119 hectares of protected lake and wetlands. Home to a variety of wildlife, try to spot some of the 235 diverse bird species in the area, including Trumpeter Swans, the Peregrine Falcon and Bald Eagle, or keep an eye out for the local moose, beavers, deer and foxes.
If you’re looking for more activity, there’s lots to explore at Big Lake, the largest lake near Edmonton and a protected part of Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. At 8 km in length and 3 km at its widest point, go for a kayak or cast your line for Northern Pike, Walleye and Sticklebacks. Surrounding the lake, you’ll find boardwalks, trails and viewing platforms to take in the natural beauty.
