Indian Battle Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Location of Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge
Indian Battle Park is a park located in the Oldman River valley urban park system of Lethbridge, Alberta. The 150-acre park was developed in 1960 and commemorates the Battle of the Belly River held in the area on 24 October 1870 between the Blackfoot and the Cree. A formal peace treaty between the two nations was reached in 1871.
In 2005, a city council bid to rename the park Valley Of Peace (to remove negative referents to First Nations) was rejected.
The park is home to Fort Whoop-Up, Helen Schuler Coulee Centre and the High Level Bridge.
