Confederation Park was created in 1967 to mark the centennial of Canadian Confederation. It was once known as the North Hill Coulee and is located in the northwest part of the city.
Confederation Park is a crescent-shaped park of more than 160 hectares. It includes a wetland section, a golf course, a playground designed to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, exercise equipment for adults, and multiple seating areas. The park also has mature deciduous and coniferous trees, a stream, and managed wetland that provide habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife.
Visitors to Confederation Park can enjoy activities such as walking, cycling, playing golf at the golf course, using the playground equipment, and exercising on the adult equipment. The park also offers a groomed cross-country ski trail (weather dependent) and hosts the Lions Festival of Lights annually in December and early January.
Confederation Park was developed in 1967 to celebrate Canada’s Centennial. The Centennial Ravine Park Society was established in 1965 to advocate for the development of the coulee as a park. The organization expanded its membership with individuals, business, and service groups in the surrounding neighborhoods and throughout the city to support the creation of the park.
Confederation Park is home to a variety of wildlife, including dabbling ducks such as Blue-winged Teal and Mallards, Canada Geese, several species of gulls, muskrats, butterflies, and dragonflies. The park's aquatic vegetation supports a healthy population of these species, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem for visitors to enjoy.
