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

    Prince's Island Park

    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!

Love the different textures and blooms. Signage is available to let you know what you are looking at. Some excellent spots for taking photos or selfies. The many people I saw, individuals, couples and families were all enjoying the chance to spend some time indoors (it was a little chilly outside) but still be in nature. Nice :)

    One of the most unique botanic gardens I've visited - truly lovely! Unlike most other botanic…read moregardens, you'll find this one on the top floor of a large shopping mall in the heart of downtown Calgary and Stephens Ave walk. Over 2 acres of gardens - with over 500 trees, 50 varieties of plants, fountains, fish ponds, and a 900 sq. ft. living wall, fountains that acts as a natural bio filter. Many of the plants are labeled and there are interesting info signs scattered about. There's a kids playground and even a small climbing wall on one end. Scattered throughout are lots of bistro style tables and chairs. And they have a permanent sculpture exhibit by Tom Ward - such whimsical wooden sculptures - they fit perfectly in the gardens. And turns out, the sculptor was a City of Calgary employee! The city parks department maintains the gardens and they do a lovely job. It was spotless inside and such a relaxing place to take a break after tons of walking around the city. Definitely worth a stop when exploring the downtown core. Highly recommend!

Just follow the river walk east and walk over the pedestrian bridge from East Village. Once on the island (31 acres of island) there's a walking path that loops around that makes a nice stroll past water features, a bridge, "Bloom' Sculpture (it's 7 stories high!), a park with a great big hill, an amazingly long bench for lounging in the sun with your 20 closest friends and picnic tables. In the summer, you can enjoy a 'movie in the park'. The movies run in front of the great big hill. The hill has the perfect slope to lean back and enjoy the big screen. When you're on the hill you face downtown Calgary which looks amazing at twilight. In the spring you'll see geese leading their goslings around the park and on the river. There's nothing cuter than a bunch of goslings.

    I love all the development in this area that is really enhancing the park. You can easily park in…read morethe East Village and grab delicious items for a picnic or just grab a coffee then stroll along the river walk, cross back and forth on the pedestrian bridges, play in the park, check out wildlife or rent bikes and go for a long ride along the river. I'm always impressed with how gorgeous the colors in the river are and it's so nice that we have parks like this that allow everyone to enjoy Calgary's natural beauty. I recently attended a yoga in the park session and it was a great setting for a really relaxing evening.
