Father’s Day is just around the corner—and if you’re looking for the perfect gift or experience for the father figure in your life, you don’t have to go far. Living at The Parks means you’re surrounded by local gems that make thoughtful gifting easy and fun. Whether he’s into fashion, food, or simply quality time, here are a few Father’s Day ideas just steps from your suite.
For the Stylish Dad: The Helm Clothing
Located right in downtown Edmonton, The Helm offers timeless menswear with a modern edge. Think high-end basics, tailored shirts, and accessories he’ll wear for years. Whether you’re shopping for a fashion-forward dad or one who just appreciates quality, a gift from The Helm is a guaranteed win.
For the Chill Dad: Shop Chop
Part café, part barbershop, and full of character, Shop Chop is a local go-to for unique finds. Browse their curated selection of puzzles, mugs (yes, including ones for rad dads), and other quirky, well-designed gifts. If you’re stumped, you can always go with a gift-card!
For the Classic Dad: 1 Real Barber
Treat dad to a fresh cut or some product from this old-school barbershop with modern flair. 1 Real Barber offers precision cuts and shaves that’ll leave him looking (and feeling) sharp. It’s a great way to gift a little self-care!
For the Craft Beer Dad: Campio Brewing Co.
If dad’s ideal day includes sipping a cold beer on a sunny patio, Campio Brewing is the place to go. Grab a seat and treat him to a flight of small-batch brews, or pick up a few cans to-go. With bold flavours and a laid-back vibe, it’s a downtown favourite for a reason.
For the Diehard Fan: Oilers Gear from Ice District Authentics
Whether he’s a season ticket holder or just yells at the TV like one, dad will love new Oilers merch from Ice District Authentics. From jerseys to collectible gear, it’s a slam-dunk (or slapshot?) gift that reps his team with pride.
For the Quality-Time Dad: A Walk in the River Valley
Sometimes, the best gift is time together. Head out for a walk through Edmonton’s stunning River Valley, right near The Parks. Grab a coffee, chat about life, and enjoy a moment of calm surrounded by nature. It’s simple, thoughtful, and totally free.
Where Lifestyle and Local Meet
One of the perks of living at The Parks is being right in the heart of it all—where local businesses, nature, and culture converge. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or just soaking up the city, downtown Edmonton makes celebrating Father’s Day easy and meaningful.
