Brown-Lowery Provincial Park

Brown-Lowery Provincial Park in Alberta, northwest of Turner Valley and southwest of Calgary, protects a three square kilometre foothills landscape in the eastern Rocky Mountain region at about 1,370 metres elevation. Used for hiking and wildlife viewing, it also reflects Alberta’s oil heritage. The land was donated to the people of Alberta in 1969 by Home Oil Company Limited in memory of founders Robert Brown Sr. and Major James Robert Lowery, both linked to the early development of the Turner Valley oil field. Brown’s Turner Valley successes dated to 1914, Lowery’s Home Oil struck its first successful well in 1928, their companies merged in 1951, and the park was established in 1992.
