What is a Hamlet?

Hamlets are unincorporated urban communities within the County that provide a range of land uses, housing types, employment and amenities to a local service area. Parkland County’s seven hamlets range in both population size and service level.

Parkland County has 7 Hamlets; Entwistle, Gainford, Fallis, Duffield, Carvel, Tomahawk, Keephills

These hamlets each have a unique history and relationship with their surrounding agricultural areas and are an important part of the County’s identity. The County supports continued prosperity and growth in hamlets where adequate infrastructure and land is available.

To view these hamlets and their boundaries please use our Discover Parkland tool.

What are we doing?

Parkland County is collecting input on community infrastructure and services that are important for Hamlet residents.
Community infrastructure and services support economic growth and help ensure our community continues to be a viable place to live and work.
Throughout the month of November, you can provide feedback on your level of satisfaction with County services such as schools, parks, recreation facilities, recycling and solid waste services, protective services and the social, cultural and institutional uses of our shared spaces.
Tell us how you want to experience and benefit from these services to ensure we continue to create a high quality of life for everyone.
Your input will help identify gaps in service provision and highlight what you value most.
The public input we receive will help ensure we are budgeting and planning according to priorities that bring the most value to our community.

Why are we doing it?

Community infrastructure and services support economic growth and help ensure our community continues to be a viable place to live and work.
We believe all hamlet residents should have access to quality community infrastructure and services that support economic development and strengthen the social and cultural fabric of our community.
- By embracing our future together, we can build a growing economy that allows for:
- Local employment opportunities;
- Low residential taxes;
- Opportunities for starting and growing a business;
- A strong sense of community and vibrant, rural character;
- A range of amenities; and
- Resilient natural ecosystems.
