This is a beautiful park in the vicinity of downtown, Calgary. It has plenty of trees, grassy ground, benches to enjoy shade or sun, and a paved trail to enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling. The park has a children play ground with lots of equipment to amuse children of diverse interests, and It is always buzzling with children. The park has a city and district cricket league established in 1908, a well-built pitch, net practice area, and a lot of cricketers of different age groups and genders exercising, stretching, running, practicing, or playing tournament matches. The league has many teams, and anyone can join a team and practice or play there. The park is popular for its wadding pool for all ages of people. Currently it is closed to the public. I have never wadded in a pool, so I look forward to visit the park once the pool is made available to the public. Street parking is available on the streets for which you have to pay, but after 6:00 pm and on Sundays, you may park for free. I cannot agree more with one of the reviewers who said this park was an oasis.

This park is beautiful! It has a large well maintained wading pool, a nice jungle gym park with rubber padding instead of gravel, and a gorgeous rock garden nearby. There are lots of shady spots by the pool to set up blankets. Parking is an issue so come early. The day we came, the pool opened about 40 minutes late at 9:40 but there was still almost no one there. The park has neat drums and an instrument for little kids to play on. I also like that they made a fallen tree a natural feature of the park instead of removing it . In the photo I have attached you can see that the bark has been removed and it is the perfect height for climbing for little kids.

Free access to a wading pool, a cricket pitch, a lovely flower garden, and a playground. It can get pretty busy, and you will need to be aware of the occasional bandaid in the water, but overall a fantastic inner Calgary spot to enjoy a summer day. Highly recommend. When you are done, check out Another Dimension Comics, just across the street. And if you are hungry, Sidewalk Citizen is a minute past AD, a great market/bakery. Aug 7 2022 update: Still awesome. Bring water guns, camping chairs, grub and good company. Now you've got a stew going.

This is a beautiful park. It's located in the community of Hillhurst. The park plays host to Calgary's Cricket League and Calgary Concert Band holds free concerts in the park in the summer. There are lots of picnic tables, a nice sized playground for children and there is also a little splash pool for children with bathrooms. An ice cream truck is always nearby in the summer. The flower garden in the park is amazing.

Love this park, we visited while in Calgary. Awesome for kids of all ages, you can picnic, swim or play on sldes just to name a few. There are also benches and lifeguards on duty. The changing rooms and washrooms were also clean. No dogs are allowed, the place is also well maintained, with free parking on Sundays and holidays. That's always a welcomed plus. This is somewhere i will definately visit again.
