Confederation Park lies in the northwest part of the city. This crescent shaped park of more than 160 hectares was once known as "the North Hill Coulee". The wetland section, approximately eight hectares, runs between 14 St. N.W. and 30 Ave. N.W. The park was created in 1967 to mark the centennial of Canadian Confederation.

Confederation Park is home to the Confederation Golf Course (3204 Collingwood Dr. N.W.) and the Lions Festival of Lights that run annually in December and early January daily from 7 p.m. to midnight.

Stroll along a stream in a manicured recreational park with facilities such as tennis courts and a golf course. The park does have a stream and is a managed wetland running down the centre which, outside the golf course, is accessible to the public. Along the stream and throughout the park are mature deciduous and coniferous trees. The trees, shrubs and aquatic vegetation provide habitat for a considerable variety of birds and other wildlife, the most obvious being ducks, geese and gulls.

The creek has trees such as Balsam Poplar and shrubs such as Water Birch, Red-osier Dogwood and several species of willow. The dammed marshy areas contain Common Cattails, bulrushes and other aquatic vegetation.

Apart from the wetland area, the park has a number of other tree species including ash and spruce. Some trees, such as the Colorado Blue Spruce are exotic species.

The aquatic vegetation attracts ducks such as Blue-winged Teal and Mallards. You can also find Canada Geese and several species of gulls in the park. The aquatic vegetation supports a healthy population of muskrats and species such as butterflies and dragonflies that you would expect to find around a wetland.
