LIFE IS GREAT in Sherwood Park... Sherwood Park is located on the southeast side of Edmonton, approximately 3km (1.7mi) from the city limits, making it a popular place to settle for people who work in Edmonton but wish to get away from the urban sprawl. Although it is Alberta's seventh largest municipality, Sherwood Park is technically considered a hamlet, a distinction which has earned the region a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world's largest hamlet!
