Prince's Island Park
A downtown island park in the Bow River, linking lawns, gardens and riverside paths. It hosts a folk music festival and Shakespeare plays in summer.
Prince's Island lies just north of downtown and is reached by a footbridge. It has large lawns, wetland gardens and a loop trail, and is popular for picnics, jogging and skyline views. The Calgary Folk Music Festival in July and outdoor summer Shakespeare plays are held here. The island is also the core section of the Bow River pathway, where you can rent a bike and ride along the river to Peace Bridge, Confluence Park and the Calgary Zoo. Free.
