Peace Park
• 2 Ave & 8 St. SW | Calgary, AB
Peace Park opened in 1992 in celebration of Canada’s 125th birthday and as part of a national project to commemorate Canada’s peacemakers. Replacing two gravel parking lots along the Bow River, the park was one of 250 peace parks that opened throughout Canada that year. Peace Park features a large sandstone Memorial Arch at its entryway, erected in memory of the soldiers who died in both World Wars and the Korean War. Twelve elm trees arranged in a circle, an ancient Bosco Sacro design that represents peace, were also planted in the park.
