Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park

Description

Dr. Wilbert McIntyre (1867-1909) was the first member of parliament for Strathcona. When McIntyre died in 1909, his constituents collected donations and built a Commemorative fountain in the middle of 104 Street at 83 Avenue. This fountain was destroyed when a car crashed into it in 1952. A replica fountain, paid for by donations to the Old Strathcona Foundation, was erected in this park in 1991. The Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park, in the Strathcona neighbourhood, has an area of 0.21 ha. See McIntyre Industrial.
