Project Location

WHERE IS THE PROJECT LOCATED?

The development site is located in the county of Kneehill, Alberta approximately 30 minutes West of the town of Drumheller, South of Alberta Highway 9. Travel time by car from Calgary International Airport to the site is approximately 80 minutes.

Located in “The Gateway to the Badlands” the site is in close proximity to a wide variety of Southern Alberta attractions and recreation opportunities like Horseshoe Canyon, the Royal Tyrrell Museum, and the Hoodoo Trail.

Four hundred and twenty-five acres north of the river has been rezoned for development. Major elements, including the North Track and all future buildings are to be placed on an upper plateau (formerly cultivated lands) which overlooks the valley and beautiful landscape characteristic of the Badlands below.

Integrating with the Environment

The site features a variety of terrain, with a large plateau serving as a foundation for the development.

Beautiful Vistas

Overlooking the Rosebud River, the site offers incredible and lush views to the South.

Gateway to the Badlands

Looking North-East of the property, and heading towards Drumheller, key features of the Badlands take over.

Rolling Hills

Elevation changes add a critical element of interest to road course designs, and to other recreational areas featured in the resort development.

Indicative of Alberta

Integrating elements of the Foothills, Canadian Badlands, and Prairies, the natural landscape of the development property is an attraction of its own.

CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN ALBERTA

CALGARY

The Calgary International Airport (YYC) is a major gateway for visitors from far and wide, accepting direct flights from all over the world.

DRUMHELLER

Featuring a variety of world-class attractions, the town of Drumheller epitomizes the Badlands region, and thrives on visiting traffic.  Badlands Motorsports Resort is less than 30 minutes west of the town.
