Frank Oliver Memorial Park

Frank Oliver was an early pioneer in Edmonton. He started the first newspaper, The Edmonton Bulletin, was a member of the Northwest Council the forerunner for the provincial government and he went on to serve as a Member of Parliament with the Liberal Government serving as a Cabinet Minister.
This park is located in front of the Hotel MacDonald which is close to the original location of his newspaper. The original building still exists and now sits in Fort Edmonton Park.

@sparkleplenty1 Glad you like it Joyce. The park is very well kept I think in part due to the fact that it sits in front of the Hotel MacDonald which is part of the Fairmount Hotel Chain if you are familiar with it
