If you head south on Highway 4 from downtown North Battleford, past the Bowlarena and under the railway pass, then turn left onto Territorial Drive and proceed for about 70 yards, you will find a snow road used by City crews.
If you turn on to that snow road, you will see recently installed interpretive panels on Coronation Park and North Battleford Power House, long gone pieces of North Battleford鈥檚 past. They are located just west of the remains of a stone fence once part of Coronation Park.
The text of the panels was written by Richard W. Hiebert, president of the Battlefords Heritage Society.
Spearheading the construction of the panels were City of North Battleford Director of Leisure Services Bill Samborski and Tim Yeaman, the City鈥檚 forestry operations foreman. The panels were constructed by NuTec Embroidery Ltd. and installed in the spring of 2015.
