With the upgrades happening for Main Street starting in 2025, we are improving both Triangle and Pisttoo Parks. The idea is to enhance these parks to offer more gathering spaces in the downtown for all community members and seamlessly connect these parks with the Main Streets updates.

Triangle Park was part of the Main Street design process and public engagement that happened in 2020/2021, but we didn’t select a preferred design concept at that time. Pisttoo Park was not included in the 2020/2021 designs.

Design concepts are being created for each park that will work with the expected Main Streets updates. As soon as we have more details to share on these designs, we will provide more information.

Pisttoo Park Location

Triangle Park
The park was originally a project of the Okotoks Community Booster Club that dates back to 1962, and consisted of a wading/paddling pool. The responsibility for the park was turned over to the Town by the Booster Club in July 1965. Improvements were made to the park in 1998 to comply with the playground safety standards at that time.

Pisttoo Park
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.
