City of Nature
With a vast variety of green spaces and parklands, the allure
of nature is evident in Calgary from wind-swept prairie hills
to wooded streams and rolling lawns.
i With 80 kilometres of paved and unpaved trails, FISH CREEK
PROVINCIAL PARK provides a spacious refuge from urban life. Starting at
Bow Valley Ranche historical site, the trail system includes a public art
gallery featuring Canadian artists.
u The GLENMORE RESERVOIR allows you to take to the water for
kayaking, canoeing and sailing.
u INGLEWOOD BIRD SANCTUARY is
a place for migratory birds to rest
their wings. With more than 270
species of birds in open grasslands
and forests, it’s a can’t-miss for
bird watchers.
