PRINCE'S ISLAND PARK REVIEWS
This is a beautiful park with trails going both sides of the river, with nice little spots to hang at. There's a food truck here aswel. Family friendly, but high traffic of bicycles, roller skating, joggers and scooters along the trail. Absolutely amazing park in the summer
Enjoyed the most delightful morning in Calgary! Prince’s Island park is a beautiful, serene place to enjoy nature at its best. There are trails that run alongside the river, benches to relax on and take in the beauty and as you can see, the flowers are absolutely stunning in the summer!!
Prince's Island Park is a great outdoor activity destination close to downtown Calgary. Summer always great time to relax with family, friends and pets, however winter also nice to see the beauty of nature.

BOWNESS PARK REVIEWS
Beautiful park with lots to do on the river. There was skating and a small train that gives rides around the park for kids. There's a little bistro with a nice patio and a rental place for equipment (boats, skating, etc). There's also a playground and quite a few picnic areas with fire pits.
Wadding pool is large and has a fenced in green space with some trees and picnic tables. Its typically a busy space in the warm weather. There are also lots of other things to see in Bowness Park. There are some great playgrounds, a train your can ride, boat rentals and picnic sites. There are also several bathrooms and great walking/biking trails though the park.
Beautiful spot. Very large area for families to have gatherings. Lots of picnic tables and covered areas. Nice playground for kids. This park actually connects via a pedestrian bridge to Baker Park which is beautiful as well.

FISH CREEK PROVINCIAL PARK REVIEWS
I love to go on walks. I see a variety of flora and fauna. Lots of photos but not very good, but I have fun. I also walk for distance and enjoy the trails. Last weekend the friends of Fish Creek had posted a short but informative walk. I found it relaxing.
A huge park along the Bow River and other creeks. So beautiful and wonderful for walking, biking, picnics, fire pits and exploring. Ice caves are quite interesting. Great places to eat at Bow Ranche. Wildlife and bird watching and photography.
FCP is what kept my husband and I sane during the pandemic. We'd grab a coffee and drive down and watch the seasons and the birds. Spring, summer, fall or winter, it would soothe our spirits and get us grounded again. Sometimes I'd even doze out there in nature. So fortunate to live so close!
