Midland Provincial Park, Provincial park in Drumheller, Canada.
The 6.3 square kilometer park features grasslands, wooded regions, and rolling hills along the Red Deer River near the Canadian Badlands.
The park grounds housed the Midland Coal Mine, where a catastrophic 1914 explosion killed 191 miners after methane gas ignited underground.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum within the park boundaries contains extensive paleontological exhibits and conducts research on prehistoric life forms.
Visitors access the park from Highway 838, located 6 kilometers west of Drumheller, with day-use areas at McMullen Island and Midland Coal Mine.
The park preserves both natural fossil beds and industrial mining remnants, offering interpretive trails that showcase geological and industrial heritage.
