Police Point Park

Beginning as an early Northwest Mounted Police outpost, Police Point Park has many trails and plenty of wildlife.  A nature lovers dream there’s over 240 acres of natural reserve. There are many kilometres of walking and cycling trails that wind through cotton­wood forests and sagebrush. The Cotton­wood “giants” are thought to be between 200 to 300 years old. Visitors might see a porcupine, deer, baby ducks and geese.  Exploration begins at the nature centre, open year round, Tuesday through Sunday. The interpretive program is managed by the Medicine Hat Grassland Naturalists, who can direct you around the best kept secrets of the park. The Police Point Park nature centre also offers various displays and public programs such as guided walks and hay rides. Geocaching units, cross country skis and snowshoe rentals are also available.
