Calgary Parks 100 Project, celebrating Calgary Parks 100th
Anniversary!
Calgary Area Cachers teaming up with The City of Calgary Parks
Dept.
The Calgary Parks 100 Project is a partnership between the City
of Calgary Parks, and the Calgary Area Cachers to celebrate Calgary
Parks 100th anniversary. Calgary Parks has supplied cache
containers and swag for 100 caches, and the we have placed these
100 caches in 100 parks around Calgary.
The park gets it's name from the confluence of Nose Creek and
West Nose Creek. The park was created in the early 1990's and
consists of 73 hectares.
In places like Confluence Park, West Nose Creek has never been
straightened or shaped by humans which allows for rich bank
habitats, flood control and stormwater filtration. Rescuing river
and stream banks begins at home by taking care to not overwater the
lawn or to load it with too much herbicide/pesticide or fertilizer
that will run-off into storm sewers and on into creeks and
rivers.
