William Hawrelak Park
William Hawrelak Park is a park in Edmonton, Alberta. Formerly known as Mayfair Park, it was initially going to be developed into a 500-lot subdivision; however, when the Strathcona Land Syndicate forfeited their taxes the city obtained the title for the land in 1922. This land lay unused until 1954, when Mayor William Hawrelak proposed to create a 350-acre riverside park in this area as it would "fit into the overall park development of the City along the lines of the zoo, and the golf courses and other picnic areas".
