Lawrey Gardens Park — Attraction in Calgary

These gardens along the Bow River Pathway, with Bow River on south and busy Bowness street on the north, provide incredibly picturesque views of the captivating and tranquil nature.

The waterfront park has lots of benches all along the walking trail and close to the the beach area. Moreover, there are plenty of trees all along the paved trails.

Visitors may enjoy the scenes of a number of electrified people sailing on the water in their different kinds of boats, or walking, running, cycling, and skating on the pathways.

visitors and their small children may amuse themselves with all the activities around them without fear of being hit by a bicycle rider or a skateboarder, for there are dedicated trails for walkers/runners and cyclists/skaters.

If you walk west, you arrive at the popular Edworthy Park. There is a humongous parking lot where you may park your car, for free. Also, you may park your vehicles on the side streets.

There are clean, well-maintained washrooms in the Edworthy Park. Also there is a restaurant, Angel's Cafe, if you want to have a cup of coffee or eat something.

This is a must visit sightseeing...

I cannot say enough about the wonderful biking and running/walking trails at this park. They go forever and people are very respectful about cycling. The river is gorgeous and the trail is so different end to end. I take my dog here nearly every day. We do our "big walk" here both Saturday and Sunday morning. From the parking lot to one of the bridges and back is about 10k. Good parking and a beautifully kept picnic area...

Great place to explore . The Lawrey Gardens park is an off leash dog park with the Bow River on on side and the train tracks on the other. It's a great loop to walk. It can be accessed from the top of the hill from end of the East end of the Douglas Fir Trail or from the end of 10th Ave along the Bow River Pathway (but very little parking to be found at that...
