I worked for the city of calgary for years and visited this park many times for maintenance. And i also erected the new signs ☺. The parking lot facing 26St is bad you can find condoms,needles etc. Many cars are broken into as well on this side ( sweeping glass )in the day as they can disappear into the adjacent neighborhood of dover.

Over all the park is very nice for day walks also you can cross the road as it overlooks deer foot but don't stray to far down those paths are there are vagrants and homeless people that can appear from the hillside.

This place has stunning views of the downtown great for photography...

Read moreI feel so silly that I had not come here earlier! It is a fantastic place to come with kids and hang out!
The 10 hectares of beauty and recreation are a must to go and enjoy!
There is usually plenty of parking available and the views of downtown nearby are amazing!
At the park there is a kids playground with rubber flooring to make it safer. There are park benches to sit and chat with friends and there is even BEACH VOLLEYBALL here! Who knew????
Is park rivals any of the other parks that we have in Calgary. I feel blessed that we live in a city that has so much green space for us to enjoy for free.
You need to come and check out this amazing place! Bring your sun tan lotion. It gets sunny...
