McQueen is a residential neighbourhood located in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is named for the Rev. David George McQueen, who served 43 years as minister at Edmonton's First Presbyterian Church from 1887 to 1930.[6]
Immediately to the north east of McQueen, in the neighbourhood of Woodcroft is Coronation Park. Located within Coronation Park is the Telus World of Science (formerly called the Edmonton Space and Sciences Centre), the Peter Hemingway Fitness and Leisure Centre, Coronation Arena (an ice arena), a small football stadium and a lawn bowling facility.
Located a short distance to the east of the neighbourhood along 111 Avenue is Westmount Centre, a shopping mall. There is also a small strip shopping centre located at the south east corner of the neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood is bounded on the north by 111 Avenue, on the east by 142 Street, on the south by 107 Avenue, and on the west by 149 Street. McQueen Road passes through the neighbourhood. The Edmonton neighborhoods that border McQueen are Huff Bremner Estate to the north, North Glenora to the east, Grovenor to the south, and High Park to the east.
