Sherwood Park sits inside Alberta, Canada and ranks #6 of 581 cities in Alberta by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Sherwood Park and the countries closest to Sherwood Park by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Canada. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across North America.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Sherwood Park, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Sherwood Park at a glance.
If you're stringing together stops in Alberta, the neighboring cities table above doubles as a rough day-trip planner from Sherwood Park — shortest hops first. Pair it with the population and area data to gauge which nearby stop is worth the detour.
