Chetwynd "Chainsaw Sculpture Capitol of the World".
Chetwynd was once known as “Little Prairie” but with the coming of the Pacific Great Eastern Railroad in 1957, the name of the community was changed to Chetwynd in honor of the Minister in charge of railroads, Ralph Chetwynd. In 1962 Chetwynd became incorporated as a Village and has approximately 2,500 residents.
Each year in June, Chetwynd holds its annual
Chetwynd International Chainsaw Carving Championship where master chainsaw carvers from around the world compete. There are now around 200 chainsaw carvings displayed throughout the community.
The Park is located on the Rec Centre Property, it is 10,000 sq ft and features elements such as pyramid, stairs, rails and lots of concrete ideal for BMX riders and skateboarders.
