Calaway Park, Amusement park in Springbank, Alberta, Canada

Calaway Park is an amusement park in Springbank, Alberta, about 4 kilometres west of Calgary's city limits. Its 90-acre grounds hold 32 rides, including three roller coasters, plus carnival games. The tallest coaster rises on a green steel lattice of vertical and diagonal beams, with black lettering mounted near its highest peak; a low blue building marked "WASHROOMS" stands at its base.

John McAfee, a former Red Deer lawyer, and 15 investors from British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario conceived the park in 1979 and paid $500,000 to Hanna-Barbera for Flintstones licensing rights. Planned as Flintstone Fun Park at $8 million, it cost $25 million, including $3 million for its corkscrew coaster. The name Calaway Park, from 'Cal' for Calgary plus 'away', was adopted before opening in 1982.

The name Calaway combines "Cal" from Calgary with "away", marking the site's position outside the city. The park was conceived in 1979 as Flintstone Fun Park, and its owners paid $500,000 to Hanna-Barbera Productions for licensing rights to the Flintstones characters and locations before renaming it months before the 1982 opening.

Calaway Park sits about 4 km west of Calgary's city limits in Springbank, off the Trans-Canada Highway corridor. The amusement area covers 90 of the site's 160 acres, with a campground on the remaining land. Look for the blue washroom building with its "WASHROOMS" sign and arrows near the base of the tall green steel coaster.

The park was first planned as Flintstone Fun Park: in 1979 its founders paid Hanna-Barbera Productions $500,000 for the rights to the Flintstones characters and settings. The name was dropped months before opening, and "Calaway" combines "Cal" from Calgary with "away", for the site beyond the city limits.
