Ledwyn Pioneer Park

Ledwyn Pioneer Park is a flat, open grassy area marked by two granite monuments and surrounded by cultivated fields at a crossroads along a paved highway leading into Riverton. The municipal designation applies to the two monuments and the 1,200-square-metre parcel of land they occupy.

Ledwyn Pioneer Park, dedicated in 2004, is a contemporary tribute to pioneers from Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Iceland and Britain who founded the farming community of Ledwyn in Manitoba's Interlake region beginning in 1907. In establishing the park, descendents of these pioneers have created a reminder to future generations of the area's history and its early settlers who overcame many hardships to build a community.
