Hundreds of Calgarians celebrate 50 years of Fish Creek Provincial Park
Hundreds of Calgarians celebrated the 50th birthday of Fish Creek Provincial Park Saturday. Katrina Terrill, from the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society, said a half-century was a pretty great reason to celebrate. 'Fifty years is (known) as a golden anniversary for a reason,' Terrill said. 'This is an incredible milestone. (It was) 50 years ago, almost to the day, when this park was inaugurated as a provincial park. 'Since then, we have seen an increase in interest and love for this park in Calgary grow tremendously just as the city has also grown. 'This park was originally designed for I think 400,000 people a year to visit -- and every year we get about three million or more.' Terrill said that Fish Creek has become a true community hub in the southwest part of the city. 'I don't think I can overstate how important Fish Creek Provincial Park is to our community,' she said, 'whether people are coming in to hike, cycle, or whether they are just looking for a quiet spot to reflect in nature. 'There is something that everyone can enjoy here,' she said, 'at Fish Creek Park.' For more about the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society, go here.
