Best I could I do was the Road,Those dang Newspaper ads wouldn’t help much if you were from out of town.
Opened April 15, 1954. Advertised as Canada’s Largest and Calgary’s Finest. Screen measured 120x77 feet which was Canada’s largest screen at that time.
Thanks Chuck1231.
The opening attraction starred Maureen O'Hara and Jeff Chandler in “War Arrow” plus 5 cartoons.
The Cinema Park Drive-in was located on Bowness Road west of 37th Street NW; the Point Mckay townhouse district is now on the site. The screen position was facing south towards the Bow River, and it’s approximate location would be just west of the Point Mckay Drive and Veterns Way, opposite the new Colonel Belcher Care Centre. The sandsone Mckay house, now the community centre for the district, was just west of the drive-in’s location.
