There's no Google Maps listing for the river valley, so "River Valley Road" will have to suffice. The river valley is the pride of Edmonton! It's the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America. Lots of hiking/biking/running trails with beautiful views of downtown and the river.

The best way to see Edmonton's river valley and downtown is from a 100-year old streetcar, 157 ft above the river! Great way to spend an afternoon with the family. You can catch the streetcar from the Whyte Ave area, take the streetcar across the river, check out the Legislature grounds, then take the streetcar back across the river. Feel free to ask for more specific directions if you'd like to check this out!

Alberta's main government building.
On a hot summer day, the kids (or kids-at-heart) can splash in the big wading pool. Great place to have a picnic and throw a frisbee. They also give free tours.
In the winter, the whole grounds are lit up with Christmas lights, making for a nice romantic walk.
Also the best place in the city to see the Canada Day fireworks on July 1st!
