The Drumheller Rotary Club has a legacy of more than 90 years of service to the community.
On Friday, April 17, the Club officially became the namesake of the centrally located park area near the Drumheller Aquaplex .
The Club has heavily invested in the community, and have had a presence in the area for years. From the early days of the community, the Rotary Club operated the arena and outdoor swimming pool. The roots of dinosaur museum displays date back to the Rotary as W.R. Fulton’s dinosaur bone collection was displayed at the site.
In later days, the club funded building an underpass at the south end of Gordon Taylor Bridge for pedestrians. The Club also funded the creation of the Spray Park, the kiddies skating rink and installed the Rotary Clock Tower near the fountain. The support has continued with support for the swimming pool and most recently a commitment to the skateboard park.
Drumheller Town Council voted unanimously to rename the area Rotary Park and last Friday made it official.
