2011 Spring Series Race #3 Millcreek 5.4km
|
Date: Wednesday April 27th, 2011 Time: 5.4km XC Run: 6:00pm Place: Millcreek, Edmonton, AB |
The creek is "named after a grist mill established by William Bird in 1878," the ravine was once home to part of the Edmonton, Yukon & Pacific rail line. The line ran from the C.P. Line at about 67 ave., across 99st. and down into Mill Creek Ravine. It went down through the ravine and out across the Low Level Bridge. By 1954, most of the tracks had been removed and only the cinders on the cut through the valley were left as evidence of the railways existence. Later, in the 1970s, the City of Edmonton converted what was left of the rail line into a bicycle and walking path extending from one end of the ravine to the other. In 1988, the Edmonton Historical Board erected a plaque in Mill Creek Park commemorating the Edmonton Yukon & Pacific Railway.
The Mill Creek Outdoor Swimming Pool, located in the ravine at 8200 - 95 A Street, is a popular summertime destination for Edmontonians seeking to enjoy hot summer weather.

2011 Spring Series Race #5 Goldbar Park 5.7km
|

Gold Bar Park is one city park that may be busier in winter than in summer. The park's picnic sites and bike, hiking and blading trails, plus the bridge connection to Rundle Park, draw plenty of summer visitors, but Gold Bar's extensive network of cross-country ski trails, covering more than seven kilometres, brings out hundreds of ski specialists during the winter.
