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 »

  Update - 5/9/2012

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 »

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 »

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 »

  Update - 11/27/2011

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 »

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 »

  Update - 1/24/2012

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 »

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 »

  9/1/2011 First to Review

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 »

What's there to say about Haultain Park? It isn't overly big, but it's a nice spot to have in the area. Room to bring out your bocce ball set, kick a soccer ball around with some friends, or hit up the tennis courts.

What I thought was neat about the…More »

Who knew there was so much evil lurking in Ramsay? I certainly didn't. At least, not until my very first visit to Caffe Rosso in Ramsay. As I turned onto 24th Ave, I spied what looked like an upside-down church. WTF? That's a weird thing to have in a…More »

I haven't spent much time out at Heritage Park, but after having been there for a party earlier on in the week, I think I'll be heading back to check out more! We had a function in the Founders Room, inside the Gasoline Alley Museum. Walking through…More »

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 »
