Location
The 2.5-acre park is located at 13001 SW Bull Mountain Road
(opposite Alberta Rider Elementary School)
- Aerial Overview Park Map
Amenities
Elizabeth Price Park amenities include a playground for young children, picnic tables, and open
space both on top and adjacent to the underground reservoir. A winding
interpretive trail atop the reservoir will lead park-goers past a
viewpoint to a compass inlaid in concrete.
There's More Underground...
Underneath the park is a reservoir facility that serves all our water customers.
This reservoir will save pumping costs and provide an additional 3 million gallons
of drinking water storage. The increased water capacity will also provide improved
fire protection in the area.
Also located at the park is an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well drilled
and capped for future use. The ASR allows us to buy inexpensive water in the
winter, pump it into the aquifer, store it, and pump it out in the summer when
water use is higher. This ASR can store up to 150 million gallons of water.
It will provide 2.3 million gallons a day of additional water when demand is
at its peak!
