CALGARY AREA

Calgary’s parks and pathways are a chill spot for hanging out and soaking up some nature right in town. Picture this: over 10,000 hectares of green and fun space, plus we’ve got the longest urban paved pathway system around, stretching 700km. You can easily have a blast exploring every corner of the city. Many parks are perfect for a family day out, offering picnic spots with tables, fire pits, and even spots for cooking and sports. Take Fish Creek Provincial Park in South Calgary, for instance—it’s one of the biggest urban parks of its kind in Canada. This massive park stretches over 20km, from the west side of Calgary all the way to the Bow River. Pretty much every neighborhood has its own slice of outdoor fun just a stone’s throw away.
