This area was purchased to address flood control concerns experienced by businesses and residents living downstream. The Fort Creek Dam was constructed between 1968 and 1971 and has a reservoir of approximately 3.24 hectares (8 acres). In addition to its primary purpose of flood control the Fort Creek Conservation Area also provides the ancillary benefit of green space.
Recreational opportunities include, wildlife habitat, hiking, picnicking or in the winter visitors can go snow shoeing, tobogganing or cross country skiing.
