We walk our dog here - with the park being so large there are so many different areas to go which have fewer people such as on the path by the river .

On a recent visit to Calgary, I explored part of the large Fish Creek Provincial Park that stretches 20km across the southern part of the city. I later discovered that it's one of the largest urban parks in North America. It winds along the Fisk Creek river valley with a mix of forest, grassland, cliffs and hills. Great walking and... More
