Beautiful places and open spaces

1. Confederation Park
Now that the sun is out again and the ground has dried up some, I get to fall in love with Confederation Park all over again. While this used to be my go-to park for a run, I've been a bit too far away to enjoy it for that the last couple of years.

Confederation Park remains my favourite park in Calgary. When I lived just a couple of blocks off… Read more »
2. Nose Hill Park
I used to live just two blocks from Nose Hill Park. Running up the hill from the parking lot to the top of the hill was something I did when I needed a challenge. Wandering leisurely up the hill and then exploring the 1120 hectares or so of park was…More »
3. Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Have I mentioned how much I love the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary? It's now one of my favourite places to head for a stroll on a gorgeous wintry day. The path is easy to walk, it's nice and quiet, and there are photos to be taken at every turn if you so…More »

Grab your binoculars and your camera, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary has a lot to see in birds and… Read more »
4. Prince's Island Park
I'm still in love with Prince's Island Park. This year, I've taken to running through it when I'm out attempting to look like I'm really an athlete.
In the spring, there are oodles of blossoms along the pathways to sniff out and photograph. You'll…More »

Every time of the year is a pretty time in Prince's Island Park. Being that I spend a lot of time… Read more »
5. Boxwood Rotisserie Cafe
Boxwood gets its four stars from the fact that they source their ingredients locally, they've got an amazing location on the edge of Memorial Park, their staff is friendly and welcoming and they filter their own water.
I stopped in for lunch on a very…More »
6. Fish Creek Provincial Park
Fish Creek Park is a beautiful area. It always surprises me how big it is! And who knew there were day-use picnic areas to reserve? Not this kid, at least not until last weekend.
The park is full of paths and is well used by cyclists, walkers,…More »
7. Sunalta Park
Calgary, AB T3C 0N2
(403) 229-1143
I've been spending my free evenings exploring the neighbourhood of Sunalta the last few weeks, and with it-Sunalta Park. It's not a very large park, but it certainly matches the rest of the neighbourhood. The grass is well kept, the park is clean,…More »
8. Calgary Rugby Union
Calgary, AB T2C 4R6
(403) 255-9199
What do a rugby player and an ultimate frisbee player have in common? Well, me, for one (I played rugby in high school and now ultimate now) and the use of the fields at the Calgary Rugby Union.
I've played on some pretty nasty fields around the city.…More »
9. Edworthy Park
Trees, paths, quietness all around. Edworthy park has been my spot to head out for some early morning running the last couple of months... or early evening on the days that getting up that early just weren't happening!
I favourite bit to do is climb…More »
10. Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park
Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park is a brand spanking new park just 2 km outside of Cochrane. I've been reading a bit about the park online, so decided to check the park out yesterday with my best friend. There aren't any signs up yet for the park, so if…More »
11. Sandy Beach Park
Once upon a time when I would hear people mention Sandy Beach, I thought it was somewhere outside of the city, mostly because the references I heard were for rafting (the drifting kind, not the white water kind). People said it was one of the best…More »
12. Sien Lok Park
Sien Lok Park is in Chinatown. I had no idea it even existed before AudioMobYYC last year. And yet that was the spot we were all to start from. It's not a large park, but there's a great big monument in the middle that makes me want to sun salute it…More »
13. Shaw Millennium Park
Once upon a time I had a part time job at Staples on 9th Ave and kids would always come in with their skateboards to buy a drink. I would always wonder where they came from... until I found out there was a skate park right across the street in Shaw…More »
14. Central Memorial Park
Central Memorial is one of those spaces I feel like I should hang out in more. I spent an awful lot of time AROUND it and walking THROUGH it, but I've never taken the time to just sit and observe. I love how the little pathways mix and mingle their…More »
15. Munroe Park
Munroe Park, great for frisbee practice... and soccer practice it seems too! In summers gone by, my Ultimate Frisbee team has used this space on many a sunny weekend. That is, if we got there before the soccer players looking for some friendly game…More »
16. Olympic Plaza
From a campground, to a skating rink, to outdoor concert space... Olympic Plaza is super duper. Snowblower happens here during High Performance Rodeo every year, the kick off for Stampede happened here yesterday (it's now only 99 days away folks!)..…More »
17. Tom Campbell's Hill
Old Tom Campbell had a hill, e-i-e-i-o. And on that hill there was a dog park, e-i-e-i-o. With a pup woofing here and a pooch running there. Here a pup, there a pooch, everywhere a pup and pooch. Old Tom Campbell had a hill, e-i-e-i-o.
Did you know…More »
18. River Walk
The River Walk is kickin' some butt and taking names! Ok, well, maybe those of us running/walking/biking along it are the ones kicking butt and taking names. That doesn't stop it from being a great addition to our riverside pathway system.
Heading on…More »
19. McHugh Bluff
I'm so calling your bluff. There's no way you run up and down those stairs near Centre street every time you're out for a run. There's certainly no way I do, especially since I end up with the worst jelly legs ever after just one trip up and down…More »
