• Prince’s Island Park - Enter the park via the McHugh Bluff stairs to discover a lush urban oasis, where pathways and bridges meander through the city center along the Bow River.
• Nose Hill Park - Explore the vast expanse of this natural highland, one of North America’s largest urban parks. Stroll through wild grasslands offering panoramic views of the city, mountains on the horizon, and the airport below. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as deer and coyote sightings are common.
