Walking and running among the huge Douglas Firs always makes my day better. The city fades away while I am on these trails. More

THE UPPER PORTION OF EDWORTHY PARK It is really hard to find out where the offlseash parks are in cities you travel to. This is a great offleash park in Calgary. My dog loves it. It will take you about 30 minutes to walk to the end and back. There are a lot of big dogs with a lot of... More

I love Edworthy park and the Douglas Fir trail. If you're looking for some off-road, on-foot, adventure inside the city but where it feels like you're out of the city...you've found it! Douglas Fir trail is steep but beautiful. I don't recommend it if it's wet (or has been recently) and definitely not in winter. It gets VERY slippery! This... More

Wonderful hiking in the summer. You feel like you are in the woods, but really you are in inner-city Calgary. A nice hike for all levels. Unfortunately the center portion of the trail has been closed due to a mudslide. It can be wet and muddy in the spring. Make sure that the trail is open on the city of... More

It's great to park here and then raft from Bowness Park to here. It has a wonderful snack & sandwich store. If you go across the RR tracks, you can hike way up high and see most of Calgary. Well maintained trails and stairs. More

Edworthy park itself is well provided with all the amenities for a nice relaxing picnic: tables, benches, firepits, toilets etc. It has good access, but you must carry your stuff from the parking lot accross the bridge for about 2-300 metres since the parking lot is accross the river from the park. I find it nice not to have to... More

Douglas Fir Trail is one of the best walks in Calgary. But it's often closed. I don't know why the city doesn't take better care of this area. There are so many stairs and pathways and switchbacks up along this hillside, it's a great place to work out, and feel totally out of the city. Along the base of the... More
