This park, located next to the Okotoks Art Gallery, was created in 1981 when the Town of Okotoks first established The Station Cultural Centre in the former CP train station. It was named Dewdney Park to recognize the time when Okotoks was called ‘Dewdney’ in the 1890s.

The park was renamed Pisttoo Park on National Indigenous People’s Day on June 21, 2022. Pisttoo, Blackfoot for nighthawk, is a prominent figure in the Napi & the Big Rock story, the basis for "Okotoks" & how the Okotoks erratic split in two.
