Confederation Park

Spanning the Creek is set in Confederation Park.

Confederation Park is a smaller park in the city’s northwest quadrant, south of Nose Hill Park (the setting for Knows the Hills). It was previously known as the North Hill Coulee. It was renamed and opened as a park as part of the 100th-anniversary celebration of Canada’s Confederation (the joining of the provinces to form Canada) in 1967. Flags for each of the provinces can be found at the entrance of the park.
