History
Laycock Park was named in honour of the Laycock family who pioneered agriculture in the Calgary area when Alberta was still part of the Northwest Territories. In the early 1900s, a piece the park was farmed by Thomas Laycock and his family. Thomas was involved in the dairy cattle industry and became a director of the Calgary Exhibition (eventually renamed to the Calgary Stampede). Laycock Park was built with funds from the Thorncliffe/Greenview community, and subsidies from the City of Calgary and the Provincial Government.
