A Library Within the Park

Memorial Park Library opened in 1912 and continues as a public library branch. The library and the park together received National Historic Site designation in 2018.

Places of Remembrance

The grounds include the cenotaph, a mounted memorial honouring Albertans who fought in the Second Boer War and a First World War soldier statue outside the library. For a visit, check current library information and observe on-site notices where conservation or restoration affects access.
