Construction began in Summerside during the early 2000’s and is still actively
underway. When completed, residential units in Summerside will be 75 percent
low-density in character and 25 percent medium-density. The neighbourhood will
contain a variety of park spaces and two school sites once complete. A business and
office park is located along Parsons Road on the neighbourhood’s western border, and
small community-level commercial facilities are located along Ellerslie Road to the
north.
Summerside's most significant feature is the 13-hectare and 28-foot-deep Summerside Lake, located in the western portion of the neighbourhood. Summerside Lake was Edmonton’s first purpose-built man-made lake; created for the sole purpose of providing residents with recreational space where they can swim, fish, and use non-motorized vehicles. All residents are required to hold memberships with the Summerside Residents Association and pay an annual maintenance fee to enjoy exclusive use of the lake.
