Parkland

The Little Bow River valley defines the setting of Parkland — the river’s route across southern Alberta’s prairie has shaped a country of fields, pasture and widely spaced farmsteads. Parkland lies in Vulcan County, within the agricultural belt east of the Canadian Rockies, where expansive horizons and fast-changing weather are part of everyday life. The county takes its name from nearby Vulcan, a town named for the Roman god of fire that has embraced a Star Trek connection in its public identity. Parkland is a rural locality rather than an urban centre, offering a direct sense of the working landscape between Alberta’s larger towns.
