Geocache Description:


We urban ants spend a lot of time in the inner city and we want to introduce you to some of the interesting parks we have discovered.

The Rundle Ruins can be found just off 12th Ave at 6th St. These are the remains of the large sandstone Glenmore Hospital, built 1894, and demolished in 1973. Calgary's first major hospital was located at 6th St and 12th Ave SE. It became an isolation hospital and then a seniors home.



Preservationists fought in vain to keep the building as a heritage site, and its significance to Victoria Park is still reflected in community publications. After demolition, the remains were incorporated into a park, and opened by then Premier Peter Lougheed on June 11 1974.

Updated January 22, 2011: The cache is a micro key holder. Please rehide carefully.

Parking may be a challenge at times, but it is a nice walk from downtown.
