Situated adjacent the Bow river where one can swim or go kayaking and boating, weather permitting, of course. Beautiful walking paths and off path walking. Dogs are permitted on leash. There is a good children's playground. Plenty of picnic tables, and of course there are facilities.

Great place to hang out or BBQ. You can bring your bike and enjoy the long cycling track along the bow river or bring your boat for some fun in the water.

This park is so beautiful all year round! They have some picnic tables each one with it's own grill they have a number were you can call and reserve a table for a specific day and hours and I think there is a small fee. I love this park because it has a decent size parking lot and the park is big enough to keep a safe distant from everybody else. There are paved paths so you can ride your bike too...
