Calgary Parks 100 Project - Canmore Park
Calgary Area Cachers teaming up with The City of Calgary Parks
Celebrating Calgary Parks 100th Anniversary
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. These caches have some cool swag and trackables when placed, so make sure to find them as soon as they are published.
The most westerly of the four segments of Confederation Park, developed and opened in 1967, is officially and currently known as Canmore Park.
Overall, Confederation Park was created from a rough coulee to become naturalistic open spaces planted with groves of trees on lawns covering the graded terrain above the creek. The planners of Confederation Park, representing new environmental consciousness at that time, decided to keep at least one part of the coulee in its original, natural state. The preserved native grassland in Canmore Park, surrounded by developed and maintained landscape and augmented with cultivated trees and shrubs planted by volunteers, is a first of its kind in Calgary.
The Cache
The cache site is on a rise at the edge of the area of natural landscape, including prairie grasses, wildflowers and shrubs, with developed and maintained park land, paths and roads beyond.
