    Fish Creek Provincial Park is quite vast, and for those looking for places to walk that are not over-crowded, there are lots of choices. There are trailhead hot-spots like Glenfield and Votier Flats.....  more »

  • By Jen fer
    Amazing park in the middle of Calgary. Most people don't take advantage of what it offers. Hiking, bird watching, fishing, this place offers a getaway from life close to home.
  • By Paul Wiebe
    A great provincial park. Lots of access points from surrounding communities. Paved and unpaved walking and biking trails. An interesting variety of wildlife through the seasons.
