Fort Edmonton Park
Opened: 1974

Originally modeled after the 1846 version of Fort Edmonton, Fort Edmonton Park grew to include three other themed streets which reflect different points in Edmonton's history; 1885 Street, 1905 Street and 1920 Street. The original vision for Fort Edmonton Park included a ten phase plan that would see the park's attractions encompass the history of Edmonton from the dawn of time to the future, but by 1987 this plan was abandoned in favour of the current four areas. The park's location is far removed from the original fort's, which was situated near where the provincial legislature is today.
