Fort Edmonton Park
Zombie Apocalypse Tour
1920 Street
1920 Street, of Fort Edmonton Park, provides plenty of opportunity for surviving a zombie apocalypse. Here you'll find the original Mellon Farm, without which, Fort Edmonton may not be the haven for survival it is today.
But what's the point of surviving if that is all you're doing? Fort Ed's 1920 Street has many ways to let your mind escape the shambling horrors outside the park's fence: A bookstore, theatre, miniature golf course, garden, even a 1920s midway, and a model train yard that runs along 220 ft of track.
Fort Deadmonton's 1920 Street provides a place to not only survive, but live.

Al Rashid Mosque
More info coming
The Al Rashid Mosque is not a spot you'd want to make a home long term, due to the lack of many comforts. However, it is a solid building to take refuge should the dead breach the fence of Fort Deadmonton:
It's solid brick walls and thick doors will keep zombies at bay. With a little work to shore up the basement windows, not much will be able to get in that you don't want to.
AGT Rural Telephone
More info coming
The AGT Rural Telephone Exchange is probably your best bet as a safe house on 1920 Street. Should the front be breached, you can hold up in the back section--a solid, concrete structures with no windows and steel doors.
You'll also find weapons here. The kind used by telephone repairmen of the past, only they didn't use them as weapons.
Peony Garden
The Silver Heights Peony Garden originally offered over 200 varieties of the Peony plant, and covered over five acres. This Fort Edmonton Park representative is much smaller.
Flowers are great--lovely mood shifters and probably should have a place in a post-apocalyptic world; however, this is a prime spot for a vegetable garden to provide nutrients over the winter months.
J. B. Little Brickyard
More info coming
The J.B. Little Brickyard, in Fort Edmonton Park, is the place to find all you'll need to help strengthen buildings against zombies. Even strong buildings, like the Al Rashid Mosque safe house, can be improved by bricking up the basement windows.
Here you'll find a good supply of already made bricks, a fully stocked masonry work shop with instruments that serve as both tool and bludgeoning weapon--perfect for dispatching the Dead of Deadmonton.

Blatchford Field Air Hangar
Fort Edmonton Park's replica of the first municipal air harbour has the space to hold a lot of people, should a group of unexpected survivors arrive.
Alternatively, you could keep this open as a way to get exercise during the winter; indoor soccer, playground, ride a horse, etc. It's modern kitchen would need a do over, using some of the wood burning stoves found at the hardware store on 1885 street.
Capitol Theatre
More info coming
The Capitol Theatre, on 1920 Street of Fort Edmonton Park, is the best place for playing a guitar, piano, or to sing. It's cement, sound-proof structure will not let a single note escape to alert the zombies of Deadmonton.
With its brick front and cement sides, it is very close to being a safe house, as well; replace the front glass entry doors and you would have a formidable building to withstand a horde of the dead.
Attached, is a small shop called, Kline's, where you can find eyeglasses. They will most likely not be the perfect prescription, but they should make things a little more clear.
Drugstore & Confectionery
More info coming

Tom Thumb Miniature Golf
A great way to try and have a little fun during a zombie apocalypse is to spend an hour or two at Fort Edmonton Park's Tom Thumb Miniature Golf Course.
