  Indian Battle Park is a park located in the Oldman River valley urban park system of Lethbridge, Alberta. The 150-acre (0.61 $km^2)$ park was developed in 1960 and commemorates the Battle of the Belly River held in the area on 24 October 1870 between the Blackfoot and the Cree. A formal peace treaty between the two nations was reached in 1871.
  
  In 2005, a city council bid to rename the park Valley Of Peace (to remove negative references to First Nations) was rejected.
  
  The park is home to Fort Whoop-Up, Helen Schuler Nature Centre and the High Level Bridge.
