We are delighted to share that Dale Hodges Park is a recipient of the Awards of Excellence for 2021 from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects.

Dale Hodges Park received the National Award for Large-Scale Public Landscapes and was also selected to receive the highest honour, the Jury’s Award of Excellence, which is awarded to one project annually that best demonstrates the CSLA’s vision - that of advancing the art, science, and practice of landscape architecture.

This project was one of the largest undertakings for Watershed+ and is the culmination of many disciplines collaborating together. Led by Watershed+ Lead Artist, Sans façon, this project involved multiple City of Calgary departments, Public Art, Parks, and Water, in collaboration with O2 Planning + Design, Source2Source, AECOM, and Wilco Contractors Southwest.

8 years in the making, our largest pilot project for Watershed+ is now open to the public, following its dedication to Dale Hodges yesterday by Mayor Nenshi.
What was once a contaminated gravel pit in Calgary, Alberta, has now been remediated and transformed into a 40 hectare natural space, park, public art work and stormwater facility.

Artworks on this scale are the work of many passionate and dedicated people form conception to construction. Design collaborators: O2 Planning + Design, AECOM, Source2Source. Construction: Wilco Southwest.
We are indebted to Calgary Parks, Water Resources and Public art teams City of Calgary Arts and Culture for their the vision, generosity and relentless hard work and determination to provide this place for the people of Calgary.
We couldn’t be more excited to share it, if you’re planning a visit do get in touch (any excuse to get out there) We might even see the newly resident moose.
