This top of Calgary, being in the NW and at one of the highest points, park is one that will always be part of the green to Calgary. Enjoy with your family. Been part of my memories since I was a child visiting every weekend.

This park is so vast that you could take a dozens visits before becoming truly familiar with it. I've been there in hiking shoes, snowshoes, on a mountain, road, and cyclocross bike; it's a full package. The recently built pathway is awesome on a road bike. Don't be fulled by the city ascents: they can be long and hard but... More

Large park with great views of city and terrific biking. Large offleash area for running the dogs. My husband and I spent so much time up here we decided to get married at the top.

Great scenery, interesting flora and good for birders (but watch out for coyotes and cacti). Be sure to bring water, etc. there are no amenities (only outhouse toilets).

It was so warm in Calgary, we could study outside and watch the kids slide down the hills, at least on the snow days

I've got a little beagle/cocker mix, and I used to take him to the cramped and suprisingly hostile dog parks in town. The off-leash parks are nice, but your almost obligated into awkward small talk convo's that go nowhere.
