Gorgeous classic architecture? Check. Loads of autumn leaves? Check. The Alberta Legislature is a grand spot to enjoy a fall day, so go ahead and take some photos playing in the leaves, or the building itself makes for a nice backdrop amid the dramatic fall colours.

Tucked away along the North Saskatchewan River, Emily Murphy Park holds a vast amount of forest and trails — just look for yourself! Roll around and throw those leaves up in the air, why don’t you?!

Featuring a walking trail and a creek, the Mill Creek Ravine Park in the Argyll neighbourhood is a slice of nature right in central Edmonton. You could almost make it look like you took a little road trip out of the city for the day, without even leaving.

Sandwiched between Fort Edmonton Park and Wolf Willow Ravine, the Fort Edmonton Park footbridge provides a stunning combination of bright fall foliage, the North Saskatchewan River, and, of course, a lovely footbridge. It’s one of the most picturesque spots in Edmonton for a fall photo.

Sprawled out across 68 acres of land in the river valley, William Hawrelak Park also features a five-hectare lake and open meadows. The diverse amount of trees allows for stunning colours in the fall, with plenty of benches and grassy areas.

Griesbach

With a burst of red, the trees in the Griesbach area are a fall leaf lover’s dream come true. It’s the perfect spot for a photo with maybe a lyric from Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) album, perhaps?
