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.
Tom Campbell's Hill Park overlooks the Bow River in the
northeast part of the city. The park was created in 1991 and
occupies about 18 hectares. The name originates from a large sign
that stood on the hill for many years advertising Tom Campbell's
Hats. The hill was originally used by Europeans as ranch land, and
for a short period, as home to many exotic species from the Calgary
Zoo. Following its use as a zoo pasture, a proposal was made to
convert the area to an industrial park. This proposal was strongly
opposed and the area was changed from an industrial park to a
natural park.. This space was included in the parks system thanks
to the efforts of the Bridgeland and Riverside Communities.
Encourage your community association to preserve its green
spaces.
