What capture's me the most every year is the natural basil which grows all through the park, really good for camp fire cooking. You can see Spear Grass golf course from most of the campsites which seems to balance on the 50 foot desert looking cliffs. A short distance from the grounds is an irrigation canal were we always enjoy a good 3 hour float and finish off with an ice cream at the Parkside Ice Cream Shop. Snake hunting is abundant, the largest we have caught so far was 3 feet long. I highly recommend this experience for active families that enjoy a diverse amount of simple and relaxing activities.

There is an NHL-sized hockey rink AND a smaller ice rink (they love their hockey up here in Canada!). There's a full-size basketball court (my cuz helps put on an Indian Basketball tournament here every April). I shot a few baskets last time I was here. There's also a decent weight room. Last time I was here, I ran the tread mill, lifted some free weights, and punched a punching bag (well, I didn't do the latter, but thought it would sound cooler). They also generally run a few children's programs out of here throughout the year. I wish more people would use this place. It's so nice to have a facility like this on the Rez.

I attended the Siksika Health Fair, held today at the Sportsplex. I don't know who's responsible…read morefor cleaning and maintenance, but I question how long someone has been neglecting their job. I was so disappointed in the condition of the facility restrooms. Knowing that a significant community event was on the roster, you'd think someone would ensure the place would be in its finest condition. There are several restroom areas for men and women, as this complex is huge. The women's restroom closest to the large arena was a disaster. Several stalls were unusable because either the toilet didn't work or the door was smaller than the frame and you had no privacy. The stall that I did use actually had feces on the wall. Soap was lacking. I looked everywhere because I couldn't believe my eyes. In doing so, I noticed that the ceiling was creatively decorated. I don't know about you, but as I kid I engaged in the prank that involved soaking toilet paper and whipping it at the ceiling to make it stick. That's what was all over the ceiling. Thankfully I found the other restrooms, which were considerably better in comparison, but still not in very good condition. Long strands of toilet paper were hanging in the stalls to cover up gaps. I toured some of the Sportsplex, as I'd not been here before. I truly couldn't believe the size and assume many activities take place here, hence the reason for certain areas to be dilapidated. I was impressed that there is a gym. The venue really was perfect for the Health Fair and the amount of attendees, but if I ever go here again, I sure hope it's cleaned up. Such a community asset should be treated like a treasure.

Situated at the previous venue for the Winter Olympics, part of the ski hills have been refurbished into a Downhill Karting circuit. Pro Tip 1: Look thru their website in advance to purchase online packages (many of the family tickets comes with a free digital photo, which you normally have to pay for separately) Pro Tip 2: Do not toss your safety helmet yet when you're done!!! There's a scan code on your helmet that is used to retrieve the photos of you speeding down the track taken by the on track mounted cameras. The whole circuit sequence was perfect: From fitting your safety helmet, to riding the conveyor to the top of the hill, getting your cart checked out, to returning your cart at the bottom of the hill, and then going again (there's no way you're going to go just once and not feel the yearning to want to go again!) Everything was very well choreographed. Looking forward to coming here again, it was loads of fun!

The Outflow artwork is a sculpture of an inverted mountain, namely Mount Peechee, which is just north of Canmore in the Bow River watershed. Also a functioning component of The City's stormwater system, the artwork invites visitors to explore the delicate balance between our natural and built environments. It encourages Calgarians to think about the origins of our water and our role in its protection. Visitors will take an inside look as water travels from our streets and back out to the Bow River." I've watched the progress of this new park and art installation over the past months and have been exited for it's completion. The park is nicely situated and provides a good spot to relax and enjoy the river view. There are comfortable benches and the pathway is individually placed cobbles for a very rustic finish. The art installation "Outflow" is both functional and visually impacting. As a component of the stormwater collection system it stands out as the prettiest storm water retention system I have ever seen. I love the inverted mountain idea and while I have heard a few people say they just don't get it, don't overthink it. The Peace Bridge took a lot of heat and some have been able to shift their view to see the asthetic it adds and I hope they see the same with Outflow.
