Overlooking Queen Victoria's Golf Course in Edmonton's downtown 'core', situated on the southwest edge of the city's commercial center, before the concrete and asphalt give way to the steep brushy embankments cusping Victoria's greens and fairways winding through the lush river valley below, is Grant Knotley Park. A visage of old philanthropic Knotley himself, eternally mindful, awaits amidst the contoured benches for the next curious visitor to read about his achievements as they're engraved upon the interpretive plaque set into the monument beneath his bronzed (I think) chin. There's nothing like encountering an interpretive plaque along the path of your travels to add informative and elucidating tidbits of knowledge to your otherwise pleasantly quaint stroll through Edmonton's many parks. Ah well, my own mind is a theme park, folks! Read on and share in my enthusiasm!
