Beautiful park! Two really nice ponds to paddleboard, fish, or kayak. We saw baby ducks and different dogs being walked.

Very nice park, so much natural greenery. Great walking trails by the Bow river.
You can go for a nice walk or sit on the bench and relax.

Summer time kayak and SUP, surrounded by birds of all kinds, cycle/walking paths, picnic areas and benches. Today we brought our SUP and launched off 1 of 2 docks on the round-about lake. There is another lake but no docks - readily accessible by any floating device. Kayak rentals are available onsite and today there was a wood burning pizza oven food truck (delicious - bought 1!) So much to do at this hidden gem; nestled along the Bow River and wildlife refuge area.

Beautiful spot for a morning bike ride! Nestled near the Bow River, there are plenty of birds and others wild life in the area. Lots of spots for picnics and the ability to take a canoe or other small boat on the water.

It is a beautiful park alongside Bow River with small lakes and running/walking path around them. It's great for kids to explore nature and watch ducks. We saw a deer up close. The only negative part was that we couldn't see any swing or slide area for kids. Shouldn't go too late in the evening because of wildlife.

It's an awesome park! One day, we met with a few deers, geese, duckling, and even a bald eagle. It's a really special place close to wildlife.

Such's an amazing park. Feeling the beatiful Bow River, the nice lake and comfortably trail. An ideal location for all season, but Summer time is good and great place for kayaking, biking, BBQ, photoshoot some wildlife.. (We caught a deer 🥰) Peace at heart 🙏❤️

I visited this lake-front natural and manicured park at two pm on a week day in April when the weather was still cold. Although there were not flocks of people, there were a significant number of people doing activities like walking, walking with their furry friends, cycling, and jogging. (boating and skating are not available at present.)
The park, established 38 years ago, has two lakes or huge ponds, created by channelizing the Bow River, wrapped by a paved trail. There is a forest with thousands of trees all along the trail.
There are tens of benches all along the trail, picnic tables at some places, and a gazebo.
Also, there are some other unpaved and winding trails and beaten paths, for those who like to explore more. Furthermore, there are Bow River Pathway and Trans Canada trail.
The parking lot is not immense; nevertheless, on a busy day. you may park your vehicle on the nearby streets, for free.
Over all, this is a well-maintained, good natural park for the dwellers of south east area of Calgary for a variety of activities, watching birds, and wildlife.
