Unique Outdoor Features
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The Drumheller Valley has recently undergone major construction to build a Berm. DDR has established a relationship with a construction materials reclamation expert out of Calgary, AB and has worked with local construction companies to divert materials. We will reclaim these materials for future construction of our complex.
Additionally, some very old trees have had to come down during berm construction. We are reclaiming as many as possible and storing these on our land. The intend is to create furniture and carvings as art installations in our future Campground/Glampground.
Modern Day Labyrinth
Labyrinth – complete on the land
Often characterized as a walking meditation; modern day labyrinths are typically patterned after four different styles.
The Labyrinth on our land is 70' wide and fashioned after the medieval style which is based on the 11 circuit labyrinth with the entrance is the same as the exit. This style of Labyrinth is installed as part of the flooring of Notre-Dame of Chartres Cathedral in France.
Dino Mamma
Dinosaur Statue – complete on the land. In December 2020 we dressed her up and took her on a tour of the Long Term Care facilities in Drumheller that were on lock down due to Covid 19.
This interactive artistic rendition of a dinosaur will sit at the front of our building and is over 6 feet high and 12 feet long.
As per Dinosaur Valley Studios, the “Mama Dino” is modelled after a “Parasaurolophus “ dinosaur. These were part of a group of dinosaurs commonly known as “Duckbilled” dinosaurs. The scale of the eggs to the animal has been adjusted, they would have been about the size of a volleyball in life. We enlarged them to offer an opportunity for the perfect photo op with reinforced seating. There is a lot of evidence that these dinosaurs cared for the nest and the young after hatching, something that we tried to capture in this sculpt.
