Princess Obolensky Park

Parkhill, Calgary

 

This little park was named after Princess Tania Obolensky, who, at 11 years old, fled Russia with her family during the revolution in 1917. She and her husband, Austrian count Leo Von Kunigl, emigrated to Canada in 1931. When her husband moved to South America, she opted to stay in Alberta during the depression and World War II.
