About Terwillegar
Terwillegar — encompassing Terwillegar Towne, Leger, and the surrounding communities — is consistently ranked among Edmonton's most family-friendly neighbourhoods. Located in southwest Edmonton, it offers a perfect blend of established community feel, excellent schools, abundant green space, and easy access to the Anthony Henday ring road. For families relocating to Edmonton, Terwillegar is often the first neighbourhood on the list.
Lifestyle
Terwillegar is defined by its parks, trails, and community spirit. The Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre is one of Edmonton's finest — featuring an indoor waterpark, NHL-sized ice surface, fitness centre, and library. The neighbourhood is laced with walking and cycling paths connecting to the River Valley trail system.
Schools
Terwillegar is served by several excellent schools including Terwillegar School, Johnny Bright School, and Monsignor William Irwin Catholic School. The area consistently ranks among Edmonton's top school catchments.
Who Moves to Terwillegar?
Families with children, RCMP and military members posted to Edmonton, healthcare workers at the Misericordia Hospital, and anyone prioritizing schools, parks, and community amenities.
Camille's Take
"Terwillegar is where I'd move my own family. The community rec centre alone is worth it — and the schools, the trails, and the neighbourhood feel make it the complete package for families relocating to Edmonton."
