Sunset Park
(1950s - 1979 - 1982 ?)



    This was located at the southern end of Pasqua Street, north west of the Trans Canada Highway. Its total land covered a large 2.5 square-kilometer area. It had flat rides that included a carousel, a go-kart track, and a miniature train. Boats are mentioned but it's unknown if they were for a lake or if they were a flat ride. Given that no water appears on a map. they were likely a Herschell-style circular boat ride.

    There was also a roller coaster but no details have surfaced. The park had a drive-in and an arcade, however it's not known if the former was a restaurant or an open-air theater.

    Sunset apparently closed in 1979 when urban development encroached on the park. Some rides may have remained until as late as 1982, though.


    Thanks to Ron McMahon of Calgary, Alberta for suggesting this park and to Fran Kerbs from Regina for providing additional details.
