Caption: Well this is a first, driving to Aldersyde in hopes to catch a local wound up with zero results. Driving back along A2, noticing this lone ex Canadian Pacific cattle car in a field. Wound up that a local resident had restored an old Canadian Pacific station and buildings from the Southern Alberta area. An exert from the Okotok's website states "Champion Park was gifted by the Knowlton Family. Gerald L. Knowlton built the park as an homage to the CPR and as a family tribute to his mother, Faye, and father, Frederick (Ted) Knowlton – a CPR station agent who served in the town of Standard, Alberta for 42 years. The park was replicated after the train station and surroundings that his father operated. Founded in 1979, Champion Park includes not only the land, but a lake, a restored CPR railway station from Champion, Alberta, a number of outbuildings, railway tracks, a 1960s era locomotive, a 1948 mail-express car, a 1929 Executive car (“The Saskatchewan”), display and rail cars, rolling stock as well as other period equipment and railway artifacts. The park is located 5 km northeast of Okotoks and 7 km north of Aldersyde on the east side of Highway 2 at the junction of 64 St. East and Township Road 210. Its always a treat finding small hidden gems like this.
