Campground Description
Dedicated as a park in 1967 with the Commemoration of the Centennial of Canadian Confederation. The year 2017 marked the park’s 50th Anniversary.
This park has many amenities that are utilized by residents and visitors, including Ball Diamonds, T-ball Diamonds, a Children's Playground, fitness equipment, Horseshoe Pits, spray park, washrooms, and a camp kitchen.
Near the center of the south edge of the park is a large silhouette sculpture and another one depicting cattle brands of Southern Alberta. These were erected in 2001 as a memorial to area ranchers. Adjacent to the memorials there is large cowboy hat which is the torch for the Southern Alberta Summer Games. Elsewhere in the park are a sundial and a time capsule, placed in 1999, to be opened on Canada Day, 2050.
At the southwest corner, is a Harvard Mark 4 advanced training airplane, mounted on a pylon and displayed in bright yellow paint, the same color it wore to work as an advanced trainer both during and after World War II. The Harvard Memorial is a tribute to the men and women who planned, built, maintained and operated the Claresholm Airport, as well as the pilots, mechanics and aircrew who trained at #15 Service Flight Training School, part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, which was based in Claresholm for many years. As well as a memorial plaque, another relating the history of the Claresholm Industrial Airport will be found mounted on the plane's pylon.
