Super place for a walk or a run after work. Great view and climate. A lot of waking pathways. A lot of great area. Quite close to office center.

This park is tranquil and a lovely place to walk around. An oasis in the city. The "cafe" is not really a cafe, pretty expensive, so be aware.

Prince's Island reminds me a lot of Vancouver. It's a nice little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is in an ideal location, right on the river and a few minutes from the downtown core. The park is considerably huge with large deciduous trees, lush gardens and a cafe on the island. With the changing of the season, the colourful leaves add a whole new beauty to it.

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 ☀️.

A nice park for family going on weekend and workers spending their day off. Great grass land surrounding playgrounds. The park is on the bow river, connected with bridges, the most famous and iconic one is Peace Bridge. The park was built on land, and donated in 1947 to the city by the Prince family. Prince Island park is the Central Park in New York. Amazing place to visit if you are tourist.

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!!

A Calgary classic. Prince's Island Park (not "Princess") is a must-see. Its right in the centre of the city, just north of downtown on Bow River. I love this park cause it has a little bit of everything; flowers, trees, walking/biking paths, rivers, open fields, a cafe and even Enmax Stage where concerts/events are held. Great park, definitely worth a visit.
