Midland Provincial Park is an Alberta Parks provincial park in the Central region, six kilometres west of Drumheller on Highway 838. Alberta Parks lists two day-use areas and no camping.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum sits in the west end of the park.
Midland Provincial Park is a day-use badlands destination with museum access, coal mining history, trails, disc golf, and picnic stops. Alberta Parks says visitors can explore two day-use areas, trails, a historical coal mine interpretation area, a disc golf course, and the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
The park is connected to Drumheller by the River Park Trail System. Alberta Parks also points visitors toward loops including the Badlands Interpretive Trail and the Midland Coal Mine Interpretive Trail.
Midland was established in 1979 to conserve a significant chapter in Alberta's coal mining history. Alberta Parks also notes unique plants and animals in the badlands ecosystem, including cougars, and directs visitors to wildlife-safety information.
Activities include front-country hiking, wildlife viewing, geocaching, mountain biking and cycling, birding, picnicking, disc golf, and electric bicycles. The official page is clear that the park is day use only with no camping facilities; the nearest provincial park camping option listed is Bleriot Ferry Provincial Recreation Area.
