This popular vantage point, merely a couple hundred steps from the Skyline View Point on the same road, is smaller but safer and better of the two downtown view points.

This grassy area on the 6 street at the intersection of Ramsay Street is better than the other skyline view point since it has a well-made wooden observation deck with a few attractive looking metal benches to enjoy the alluring views of Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary Tower, skyscrapers, and Bow River from a different angle.

It is safer because of the metal palisade at the brink of the hill from where anyone may fall down and meet with a tragic end. This feature is imperative in this era of selfie-crazy people. There have been lots of fatal casualties happening everywhere in the world because of this selfie-mania where people risk their lives in order to get better pictures of themselves with prepossessing backdrops.

Both the view points on the same street, 100 paces apart, are created to give the splendid city skyline views to their visitors, so there are no picnic tables or children playgrounds; however, visitors may enjoy a couple of children play areas - Bell Avenue Park and Ramsay Park - with latest equipment in the proximity of the vantage points, enjoy at the stampede park at the foothill.
