Battalion Park, Military memorial site in Calgary, Canada
Battalion Park contains stone geoglyphs on the hillside that form numerical designations representing different military units that trained in Calgary during World War I.
The park opened on November 3, 1991, transforming a former military training ground into a permanent memorial dedicated to Canadian military service and sacrifice.
The Military Museums within the park maintain galleries dedicated to the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and Royal Canadian Air Force, preserving Alberta military traditions.
Visitors can access educational resources and military archives through the University of Calgary library system, which maintains an extensive collection at the museum facility.
Large stone tablets across the park grounds display detailed information about specific battalions, creating an outdoor museum experience integrated with natural surroundings.
