  • Poles and clamps for your footwear would be helpful but we managed with runners and hiking boots. The creek is frozen with some open patches of slow-running water: just gorgeous ice crystals along...

  • Park has washroom, parks for kids, tennis courts and multiple paths for bikers and walkers/runners. Views are breathtaking. I'm always at peace along the water.

  • Took the bikes here and theres lots of nice trails with some great views. Not too challenging since there's not many big hills. We even saw a deer in the fields which was really nice.
  • Ah yes. Good ol' Fish Creek Park. This is another Calgary classic. Great for walking, running, biking, bird-watching, fishing, picnicking, etc. It's surprisingly large. It's actually one of the largest urban parks in North America and the second-largest urban park in Canada. And it's the only provincial park in Calgary's city limits. Just one more reason why Calgary is the most livable city. Ever.
  • 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.
  • I always love coming to Fish Creek Park. So beautiful and peaceful. I wish we had more warm months so I could spend more time here. Little treasures of nature everywhere. The park where you can become a Disney Princess (look through the pictures to know what I mean by that) Peace and quiet and a great place for a birthday lunch with your kids.
  • 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.
