Heritage park resides in Calgary's inner city, and offers a respite from the city pace. The park consists of a number of dated buildings dismantled and reconstructed on this site, creating a small town effect. Supplementing the buildings various "low risk" rides for kids, and actors/actresses dressed in period garb, wandering around chatting with the visitors. A recent new complex was added to house a vehicle museum. In addition, special performances are provided by various groups - The Strathacona Mounted Troupe being at the facility during my visit.
Here is a random sampling of the day
The troupe rode the horses through a series of maneuvers to begin
Cranes
Printing Presses
And dies
And homes decorated for the period.
Here is a random sampling of the day
The troupe rode the horses through a series of maneuvers to begin
Followed by a challenge of picking up small cards using their swords and spears
And of coarse, what is a spectacle without a charge
Both gasoline and Kerosene were offered for vehicles
Trains
Taxis, etc.
Printing Presses
Actors in sales, cooking and teaching roles
Functioning smithy
And homes decorated for the period.
A very relaxing afternoon was spent wandering around.
