In 1974, former Mountain Park residents and friends replaced the original rotting wooden fence with a chain link one. They enlarged the original Cemetery size to take in the 1973 ashes burial and memory markers on the knoll. In 2006, the Elk Valley Coal Company donated heavy chain link fencing and employees to rebuild the fence.
August 1997, 85 original Mountain Park residents, their families, friends and residents of Cadomin cleared out the tall buckbrush, and other debris from the Cemetery. Hidden grave sites, many without markers were uncovered. The location of over 60 grave site locations still remain unknown. Since 1997, many volunteers have done repairs, reassembling the original fences or markers, re-painting them. Every year Yellowhead County donates money towards the Cemetery restoration and upkeep. The volunteer work continues under the guidance of Mary Lee.
