OEG Sports & Entertainment (OEGSE) and the City of Edmonton announced that Dialog, in partnership with HNTB, has been selected as the lead design team for Downtown Edmonton’s new Event Park.

Dialog, part of the original design team that helped bring Rogers Place and ICE District to life, will work in partnership with HNTB to deliver a collaborative design for the new Event Park, grounded in a deep understanding and proven ability to transform public spaces and enhance downtown vibrancy, civic pride, and resident and visitor experiences.

The new Event Park will be a world-class indoor/outdoor entertainment and community destination in downtown Edmonton which will combine exceptional acoustics and state-of-the-art staging, sound, and lighting, with flexible, community-accessible spaces, capable of hosting touring acts, headline performances, cultural gatherings, festivals, and sporting events.

By integrating advanced infrastructure with inclusive public spaces, Event Park will drive strong community engagement while serving as Alberta’s premier multi-use event hub, delivering lasting social, cultural, and economic benefits.

“Edmonton’s ICE District has always been about more than the marquee moment,” said Gerry Doering, partner in charge and architect of record, Dialog. “We are excited to be part of the ICE District Event Park vision and with the City of Edmonton, OEG and HNTB, we’re bringing deep, hands-on experience shaping the district and the venue expertise to deliver a place that feels unmistakably Edmonton, invites people in, and enriches downtown life.”

Connected directly to Rogers Place, the Event Park will extend the ICE District experience, celebrate Edmonton’s outdoor culture, drive downtown activity, economic impact, and civic pride.

Event Park design is now underway with construction expected to begin in 2027.
