The George Olive Nature Park in Winnipeg, Canada, was once a dumping ground for industrial materials before being transformed into a 16-acre nature park in the early 1990s. Named in honor of MLA and former Transcona mayor George Edward Olive, the park features lowland marshes, interpretive panels, and a historic cordite ditch from World War II.

Significant restoration work and volunteer efforts have revitalized the park, which officially reopened in September 2001. Commemorative plaques in the park honor community activist Betty Stewart and mark the site's improvements, making it a cherished green space for locals and visitors to enjoy.
