Officials cut the ribbon on Alberta\u0027s first\u002Dever mental health park in Calgary on Saturday afternoon.
Taylor noted that just more than a year ago, the space was nothing but a chainlink fence and a grassy area. She described it as being “as institutional and unfriendly as you can imagine.” Now, the park features a climbing structure, a sports court, a pavilion, community pathways, bench swings, and space for meditation and reflection.
Taylor said the “mental health park” designation is one based on research and consultation with health professionals. The park has already been put to good use by patients at The Summit, said Avril Deegan, Alberta Health Services’ director of child and adolescent addiction and mental health. She said many patients choose to spend their free time in the space, noting the hammocks as a “huge hit.”
