This park is the first pesticide free park in Calgary and
hopefully many more are to come. If you come by this park you will
see how lush and beautiful it is without using chemicals.
The history of pesticide-free parks in Calgary began in
Sunnyside's New Edinborough park. After a year of negotiation,
residents and the City of Calgary Parks department agreed to
suspend the use of pesticides on the park in 1998. This pilot
project, set for five years, was the experiment that began the
expansion of pesticide-free parks in the city. The neighbourhood
had active, health-oriented residents and the park was well used
year-round as a skating rink, sports field, and family
playground.

geocoin or a pin in it. Bring your own pencil.
Please be stealthy because this is a popular
park.
