Baker Park has an excellent disc golf course on it. The disc golf course is good for beginners and intermediate players alike. The park sits along the Bow River in Calgary on the opposite side from the 1988 ski jumps. There's tons of walking paths and picnic areas with the river and ski jumps as a backdrop. It's beautifully landscaped and well maintained with public washrooms available as well.

This place is absolutely stunning 😍 and is located right at the banks of the bow river. I always like to come here after a long day and just take a walk and unwind.
