Benjamin Simmonds Lloyd was born in England in 1849. He and his
wife, Jane Eld, journeyed to Calgary with the Shaw family (of
Midnapore historical significance). The Lloyds settled in the Red
Deer Lake vicinity in 1884 at the "Sleighford" ranch which was
directly east of the park. Both died in Calgary in 1941. They had 8
children. Lloyd Park was named in honour of this family in
1981.
On route to Lloyd Park you will pass by 3 vintages of the Red
Deer Lake school. The original one room school dated 1857 to 1955
can be found just within the park entrance. The newest Red Deer
Lake school, which was opened in 2008, is just outside the park
entrance. The prior Red Deer Lake school resides at the highway
intersection and has been acquired by a private school. We believe
that Lloyd Lake, within the park, was originally named Red Deer
Lake and thus the name of the school. If anyone can contribute
additionally to the history of Red Deer Lake, please add these
comments to your logs.
Please adhere to all park rules and area speed limits as shown
in the pictures below. You will pass through 2 school zones before
entering the park. The park is gated and has hours of 7AM to dusk.
The park is an on-leash area for dogs and droppings must be
disposed of properly.
