Get Ready in the Park 2025

Meet your emergency responders at Get Ready in the Park!

Hosted by the City of Edmonton’s Office of Emergency Management in recognition of Emergency Preparedness Week, the 16th annual Get Ready in the Park event returns on Saturday, May 10, 2025 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Please Note: This year's event will again take place at the Edmonton EXPO Centre grounds, south of the Edmonton EXPO Centre, in light of Hawrelak Park's temporary closure.

Get Ready in the Park is a free, informative and interactive event that is fun for the whole family:
🚨 Learn how to prepare for a variety of emergencies
🚨 Meet and talk with emergency responders from the Edmonton and metro region
🚨 Learn how emergency responders work together on the frontlines during an emergency
🚨 See the inside of a fire truck and other emergency vehicles
🚨 Have lunch at one of the on-site food trucks

Local emergency responders, along with almost 50 groups from the region’s emergency response community, will be on site to help attendees learn how to prepare for a variety of emergencies.

There will be limited free parking available near the event grounds and additional free parking in Borden Park's west parking lot. For public transportation routes, plan your trip through edmonton.ca/Transit. Coliseum Station is the nearest LRT platform to the event grounds.
