Prince's Island Park spans nearly 50 acres and is a hit with visitors in need of beautiful walk. Trails lined with cottonwood trees appeal to walkers and bikers alike, while regular festivals and an outdoor theater beckon to culture hounds. For food, just follow the footbridge across the Bow River to the stalls of Eau Claire Market. Looking for more refined dining? Then check out the River Café.
Visitors and locals both love the park in every season, praising its peace and quiet, as well as its beauty.
Situated northwest of downtown, the park is accessible off of the Sunnyside CTrain stop. The park is open every day from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and you don't have to pay to enter. For more information, visit the City of Calgary website.
