Kinmel Park Training Area

[2] The site was largely empty prior to the camp's construction with the only man made structures in close proximity being abandoned mining buildings.

However, considerable numbers of the troops had relatives and friends that lived in Britain and their deployment provided the opportunity to visit, a chance they would otherwise be unlikely to have.

[5] Four of the five Canadian troops killed during the riot were buried in the graveyard of Bodelwyddan church among other Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorials.

A small military camp remains at the site, rebuilt to around half the size of the original structure,[2] which contains training grounds and firing ranges and can hold around 250 soldiers.

The camp is now occupied by the headquarters of Clwyd and Gwynedd Army Cadet Force and 203 Multi-Role Medical Regiment (previously 203 Field Hospital), RAMC.
