1. Transportation and CommutingÂ
Tamarack is one of the best-situated communities in the capital region. For starters, the southeast corner provides quick access to the Whitemud, guaranteeing a quick commute through the city. The Anthony Henday is also just around the corner, making trips around and out of Edmonton a breeze. Being close to the Henday also means easy access to surrounding communities such as St. Albert, Sherwood Park and even Leduc in a matter of minutes.Â
For those who prefer public transit, Tamarack is home to a newly built transit hub and several bus stations. The abundance of stops throughout entire area guarantees easy access and average travelling time to the LRT runs just over half an hour.
2. Green SpacesÂ
Another huge draw of Tamarack is the ample green space dotting the area. In fact, over 67 acres of green space has been reserved for open fields, natural reserves, ravines, and lakes in just this neighbourhood alone.Â
Tamarack developers also kept families in mind as, here too, you’ll find an abundance of playgrounds, over two kilometres of tree-lined walking paths, and soccer fields for the enjoyment of both kids and parents alike.Â
