This forum spans the globe, you should be more specific.

It says you're from Edmonton, so I may know where you mean, though to my knowledge, much of it is demolished...

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

Greesebah military base was situated between 97th and 137 i believe, it was a military base which I lived near when I was growing up. It was decommissioned around 6 years ago when Anne Mclellan the liberal minister of defence centralized the military services to the Namaio base further north of edmonton on 97th. I have been on the base twice but the security at the time was extremely high with MP patrols . It was sold around 3 years ago to a developer who is turning the property into townhouses as can be seen on the eastern 97th street portion of the base. To my knowledge there was a big cement shooting range on the western castledowns side of the base but I'm not sure if that piece is still there.

It seems you've just been looking with your eyes closed.

Hahah, hahahhaha, haha hah ha. Ha ha.

Seriously, though- we've all been so many times. I think it's all demolished now, unfortunately. Issue #2 of our little exploration magazine, 5100 features an in-depth article on the base.

I popped by over Christmas and there was nothing left. It's the Edmonton version of 'Garrison Woods' now.

Yup a real loss that was. We had so much fun exploring the dozens and dozens of buildings there over those few years. All that remains is the abandoned jail (at least last time I checked, back in November)

The Jail is cool but such a shadow of the former glory that was Wonderland.

The UEA site has hundreds of pics of the place by about a dozen different explorers.

If you ever come to Calgary then email Satan@uea.ca and you'll be made welcome, taken to locations and given free accommodation. We'll help save you the $$$ you spend on the flight over here :)
