1. Jim-Bows Archery Ltd
Some friends and I booked in as a group at Jim-Bow's to try our hands at some archery. Jim-Bow himself (yep, he calls himself Jim-Bow, as do all of his regular customers) set us up with our combination bows and walked us through from start to finish…More »
2. 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 »
3. 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 »
4. 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 »
5. WJ Homestead Disc Golf
Over the river and through the woods... a disc golfing we will go....
Calgary and area boasts a few different disc golf courses. A typical game consists of aiming your disc at a metal pole with a chain link target.
If you're up for a course a little…More »
6. Red Nik Surf Company
Everybody's going surfing... surfing Canada, eh!
I never would have thought I'd find a surf shop in Calgary. But lo and behold, we have one. And it's been around for nearly a decade!
I can't help but chuckle at the name, Red Nik's. There's nothing…More »
7. Jack Simpson Gymnasium
If you're like me and you don't know your way around the U of C campus, the Jack Simpson Gym can be a bit hard to find. It's right near the Olympic Oval, and access to the gym is from the lower level.
The gym is home to The Dinos basketball and…More »
8. Mountain View Bowl
Mountain View Bowl's got its pros and cons, but overall, it's got a good thing going on. I love that we could choose between bowling 5-pin or 10-pin. The only drawback here is that it makes for a limited amount of lanes on either side. The lanes and…More »
9. Hot Yoga on 17th
I came home from a hot yoga class last night and thought I'd wait until the blissful peace that comes after that much relaxation passed before writing my review. I figured a good night's sleep would give me time to reflect on whether or not this was…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. Let's Bowl
I haven't been bowling in ages. But there are still plenty of folks out at Let's Bowl keeping the lanes busy on a Saturday night. Be prepared for about an hour's wait for a lane if you're there around 9pm. Thankfully, there's a bar area to hang out…More »
13. Lloyds Roller Rink
Lloyd's on a Saturday night = awesome-sauce fun times! For under $12, you can rent yourself some roller skates or roller blades and hit the rink for a solid 5 hours, though your feet and legs might not take that kind of abuse if it's your first time…More »
14. 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 »
15. 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 »
16. McInnis & Holloway Memorial Forest
I noticed the big sign that read McInnis & Holloway Memorial Forest. Having not yet had occasion to take advantage of any funeral services in Calgary (*fingers crossed that I won't ever need to*), I wasn't familiar with the name. But then I…More »
