    Always love going here for a nice family picnic on a hot summer day. It is quite peaceful and my kids love the space! Always a good time!

    McMahon Stadium - Some of the activity outside McMahon Stadium before the CFL Western Final, Nov 23, 2014.

    McMahon Stadium

    McMahon Stadium is owned by the University of Calgary and is where I've attended various Canadian…read moreFootball League (CFL) games and cheered on the Stampeders. My most recent game featured a 44-3 blowout victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. It was a fun crowd, but no where near the stated capacity of 35,650. The CFL Grey Cup game was held at McMahon Stadium in 1975, 1993, 2000, and 2009. In addition, McMahon Stadium served as the open-air venue (as an ice rink) for the 2011 National Hockey League Heritage Classic match between the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens. The Stadium was also the location used for the 1988 Winter Olympics for the opening and closing ceremonies. The Stadium is named after Calgary residents Frank McMahon and his brother, George, who gave $$$ to both the University and towards the construction of this stadium. My friend Jim has season tickets and their 2nd Row/20 Yard Line seats have been wonderful place to watch the Football, Outriders, and Fellow Fan action. I even snagged one of those small footballs that they throw into the stands the last time I was here. And he has a parking pass to the parking lot just outside the Stadium. That's just the ticket for some serious tailgating.

    Ah the CFL....it's the NFL's smaller brother...it's farm system. They make it Canadian though:…read more only 3-downs, 110 yards endzone to endzone, 12 players on the field, etc. It's alright though. At this stadium, you could tell it was more of a family feel to it....well we were in the "family zone". They do all kinds of things to keep the crowd at bay: fireworks after scores, shooting mini-footballs into the crowd, 50/50 raffle, etc. Basically it felt like a high school game in the states, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. My only annoyance was the freakin' brat kids sitting behind us. I know this is the "family zone", but dang! Why don't these dang parents keep their kids under control. Man, I was about ready to start throwing kids after a few quarters of it!! But alas, the Stamps won, and everyone walked away happy.

    Prince's Island Park - There's a cute little cafe on the island!

    I visited Prince's Island Park while on a work trip in Calgary. Wow. What a beautiful park. I went…read moreon a jog from downtown Calgary where my hotel was and it is so nice to have a large park so close to the city. I think there's ~50 acres of land with plenty of well-maintained walkways for walking, jogging, biking. This seems like a perfect place to go on a date, walk around a bit during a work break, read a book on the many places to sit there, or just walk/jog like I did. There is also a cafe located near the center in the park. Unfortunately it was closed when I visited but I heard it's good!

    This beautiful, 50 acre"urban park" is found on the north side of downtown Calgary by the Eau…read moreClaire neighborhood and is a fantastic place to get out in nature - even though it's in such close proximity to the city. There are paved walking paths and gravel trails - all very well maintained. We saw lots of geese and ducks and butterflies too - it was surprisingly peaceful! I imagine this would be a great place for migratory bird watching when the time is right! Lots of articles call this park the "heart" of Calgary...it certainly is popular but I can see why. It's lovely - there's tons of flower gardens, some native bee habitats, and it's surrounded by the Bow river on all sides and even has a lagoon that you can ice skate on in winter. Calgary holds lots of festivals here. There are picnic areas and playgrounds and even a cute little cafe. Several bridges connect it to downtown Calgary and one of them connects you to the other more northern side as well. It's very walkable and easy to access - I'd definitely say it's handicap accessible as a good portion of the paths are paved and flat. There are lots of info signs dotted around the island as well. Definitely a must see when visiting the city! We loved it!
