How the Park Began
Wilbur and Betty Griffith donated part of their estate to the City as a nature preserve. The park was created in 2000. Its sensitive spruce and balsam poplar forest is habitat for birds and other wildlife.
Before a Walk
Use designated routes and follow signs and fencing. Tsuut’ina Nation owns the land and river beyond the marked boundary; visitors must not cross onto it. Fires are not allowed. The playground, basketball and soccer facilities listed by the City are at 160 Discovery Ridge Boulevard SW, separate from the park’s main address.
