History

Advertisement for Strathboine Development

The area was originally named Strathboine, and was slated for development in 1912. However the initial development failed to attract residents due to its remoteness and the collapse of development.[1]

The failed settlement was purchased by the Veterans Land Act in 1945. Roblin Park was set up as a housing development for Veterans in the mid-1940s.[1]

In 1946, Joseph and Violet Reynolds became the first to move into Roblin Park, at 105 (now 605) Pepperloaf Crescent.[1]

Demographics

The neighbourhood is predominantly white, middle class and anglophone. According to the 2016 Census, the neighbourhood is 89.5% Anglophone.[3] The neighbourhood is majority white, with the largest non-white ethnic groups being Indigenous or Metis (7.4%) and the remaining 4.2% of residents belonging to other visible minorities.[3]

The average income of the neighbourhood is $58,661, higher than the city average of $44,915.[3]

Amenities

Roblin Park is home to the Roblin Park Community Centre. It has an outdoor hockey rink. Roblin Park also covers a portion of the Harte Trail; a multi-use trail that is part of the Trans-Canada Trail.
