Quick facts about Alberta's Provincial
Parks
Alberta’s provincial parks system comprises approximately
four per cent of the province’s total land mass, or 27,614
km2. The national parks within Alberta cover an additional eight
per cent of the province.
There are approximately 500 parks within the system, offering a
rich diversity of opportunities and uses.
Some parks, like Aspen Beach Provincial Park, are designed for
recreation, but many others support both conservation and
recreation activities.
Some parks, such as the Athabasca Dunes, contain some of
Alberta’s rarest and most fragile landscapes. They provide
living laboratories for research and their primary objective is
conservation.
Alberta’s parks range in size from very large (Caribou
Mountains Wildland at 5,908 km2) to very small (Egg Island
Ecological Reserve at less than a quarter of a city block). The
vast majority (79 per cent) are less than 10 km2.
Parks do not operate in isolation from other public lands, local
communities or watersheds. They have an intricate relationship with
surrounding areas. Good decision-making will depend on science and
our ability to identify linkages and understand the broader
interrelationships and impacts.

Find the final location by completing the
following: N51 AB.CDE W114 FG.HIJ
The Math
A = Park I - Park J
B = (Park K + Park H) - Park L
C = (Park N + Park M) - Park P
D = (Park O + Park N + Park E) / 4
E = (Park A + Park B + Park F) / 4
F = (Park L + Park M) - (Park D + Park O)
G = (Park C + Park G) - (Park D + Park I)
H = Park G - Park H
I = (Park N + Park F) / (Park L - Park H)
J = (Park P + Park M) / Park E
