Bsst for cycling and strolling in the mornings and evenings. You'll see high grounds and streams along the way. Its well connected throughout the south and south east of Calgary. Also connected to the bow river on the east. Had an amazing time there cycling and the weather was perfect for a day out. They have benches and places to relax all around the park. I would recommend a nice walk or a trail for people who are just staying there or visiting friends and families to give it a shot.

Great piece of nature in suburbia. Lots of walking/cycling trails, and lots if things for 🐶 to sniff and pee on. Keep your eyes open for 🦫.

This is not a part of the park that we had explored before, and we happened on it by accident. The southern slopes are fully treed and the boreal forest is home to a few creatures, from squirrels to a significant hawk's nest with some young ones flying around, training their wings doing some tree hoping. It also looks like the setting of some mischief. Fires have been attempted on a couple of trees in the area, posing some arsonist danger to the houses nearby, should they ever succeed. At the bottom of the slope, the creek flows nicely. A few deeper pools might have dish in them. That remains yo be explored.

Very close to public washrooms and parking lot. Has picnic tables and close to the creek and beaver dams. The main path goes on West to Bebo and west towards Glennfield which is a few kilometers away. There is another public washroom about few hundred feet from the Voltair parking lot. Also some single track trails to hike or bike in the area.
