4.0 star rating
  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 »

  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 »

Calgary, AB T2N

Category: Parks

4.0 star rating
  11/11/2010

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 »

Keyboards, pianos, harpsichords... oh my! Have you been on a tour of Cantos yet? If you haven't, this is something you've got to see. It was a stop on last Thursday's artWalk with Art.

Over 200 instruments are in this location and most are…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 »

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 »

  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 »

I know about as much about cameras and photography as Cookie Monster knows about broccoli. Okay, I'm not quite that bad! When you say words like "aperture" I have a vague idea of what you're talking about. But beyond playing with some of the big kid…More »

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 »

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 »

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.
