Knottwood Community Centre
The Knottwood Community League is working hard on rejuvenating our neighbourhoods of Satoo, Ekota and Menisa. As part of this process, we have built a brand new Knottwood Community Centre to replace our current hall south of Satoo School.
Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard over the years to make the dream of a new Community Centre a reality for our neighbourhood.
We will be continuing our community revitalization campaign for Knottwood. Next up, we hope to build a community garden in Menisa and upgrade our Ekota rink.
The new Knottwood Community Centre is open!
Our Community Centre is now officially open.
Follow along on our Facebook and Instagram pages and sign up for Knottwood News for photos and updates.

Other Frequently Asked Questions:
What will be included in future phases of the Knottwood Community Centre rebuild?
Further community consultation will occur to update this, but initial consultation generated ideas for expanding the new Community Centre, updated landscaping, a spray park, pickleball courts, and more. Stay tuned for information in the future.
How did the new Knottwood Center come to be?
The concept of a new, larger, and accessible hall has been considered by numerous Boards ever since the start of the Community League.
Over the span of many years, our Treasurer has allocated gaming funds specifically towards a New Community League Centre project, increasing the project’s viability and bringing us closer to moving forward.
The Board took the leap a few years ago and started various processes to bring this project to life. Through numerous City of Edmonton processes, business case development, grant funding generation, community engagement, and many, many hours of work, we brought the project to fruition.
With support of the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal Governments, we’re now ready to build.
