 Superb live theatre |
220 9th Ave South East Calgary, AB T2G 5C4 Canada +1 403 294 7402 (Box Office) / +1 403 294 7475 (Administration) http://www.atplive.com/ askATP@ATPlive.com |
Located at the Martha Cohen Theatre in the Center for Performing Arts, ATP was founded in 1972 and was originally a forum for Canadian Playwriting. Although the Project still adheres to that mandate, it has extended to include international works. The theatre seats 450 people, loosely based on a "theatre in the round" design so that you are never very far from the action on stage. Check the Web site for current productions and performance times. Ticket prices vary. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Year-long outdoor park activities |
8900 48 Avenue Northwest (Bowness) Calgary, AB T3B 2B2 Canada +1 403 268 3888 |
On any mild winter day, the frozen lagoon in this park is filled with skaters. An open expanse of ice with smaller tributaries that wind off out of view, the man-made lagoon is great for youngsters just learning to skate, or others who need to burn some energy. A fire burning in the on-ice pit warms chilled hands. Canoes, foot-powered watercraft rentals, a miniature train ride, mini-golf, carnival rides, a kiddie spray pool, playground and sports fields are all available in the summer. Free admission.

The Calgary version of Disneyland |
245033 Range Road 33 Calgary, AB T3Z 2E9 Canada +1 403 240 3822 http://www.calawaypark.com/ calaway@calawaypark.com |
Although not quite as large as Disneyland, Calaway Park offers more than enough fun attractions to keep youngsters happy and active for a full day. The vaguely Flintstones-style theme park offers rides to suit all ages, with a special area just for toddlers. A corkscrew rollercoaster, log flume ride, bumper cars, boats and several other whirling, twirling and plunging attractions make kids squeal with delight, and their parents turn green.

Calgary's Olympic site |

These facilities are used both by high-performance winter athletes and by ordinary, adventurous, Calgarians. The bobsled track immortalized by four crazed Jamaican sledders continues to be used for World Cup events. The downhill ski slope is a popular entry-level spot for skiers, while the half-pipe area crawls with local snowboarders. The park also gets steady summer use by cross-country and downhill mountain bike racers. Inside the main COP building there is a restaurant/bar and the Olympic Hall of Fame and Museum. Park admission is free; activities vary in price. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Serene urban park |
10 Street and 24th Avenue Northwest Calgary, AB T2K 1H2 Canada +1 403 268 3888 |
This stunningly peaceful park is one of the city's most beautiful green spaces. Large shade trees tower over a slow moving stream, and pathways cross over arched bridges and along the foot of a dozen rolling hills. There are picnic tables, cross-country ski trails, tennis courts and playgrounds. Still, aside from the wedding parties that come here on Saturdays for photos, visitors always feel as if they have the park to themselves. It is a mystery why this park isn't packed on sunny days, but the regulars are not complaining. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This centre gives visitors a hands-on look at early Calgary life. Fort Calgary lies on 40 acres of riverside park. The interpretive centre reconstructs the original 1875 fort, a facility Mounties built after being dispatched from the settled East to establish law and order among pioneers, and to stop the culturally devastating whiskey trade.

2500 University Drive Northwest (at the University of Calgary) Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 Canada +1 403 220 7954 http://www.oval.ucalgary.ca/ oval@ucalgary.ca |
The site of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games long-track speedskating competitions continues to be a solid attraction for several reasons: The massive silvery-white roof that covers this huge building on the University of Calgary campus is an engineering and architectural marvel; a strong sense of sports history pervades the building and the actual events seem only yesterday, with little changed; and the facility remains the fastest speedskating track on the planet, with records routinely and repeatedly shattered here at World Cup competitions staged each year. Several national teams, including Canada's, train here, offering fans a chance to have very close brushes with skating's elite. The track is regularly open to the public for skating on regular skates or on rental speed skates, though novices will spend most of their time on their bottoms! Review © 2007, Wcities |

During the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary, this city square was the focal point of much of the event, including most of the medal ceremonies and laser and fireworks displays. Tens of thousands of people jammed into the square on any given evening. The square looks much as it did then and is now the focal point for many civic events, particularly for welcoming successful athletes home from recent Olympic Games. The large area in front of the stage is now a wading pool in the summer and flooded for ice skating in the winter. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Statistics say that Prince's Island is one of the most used urban parks in North America. Come here on a sunny day and you will not doubt it. Way back when, the Island was used to catch felled trees floating down the Bow River from logging projects upstream. Now this bit of serenity in downtown serves as a favourite venue for joggers, football tossers, family picnics, flocks of Canada Geese, buskers, Shakespearean actors and nearly every major festival that Calgary hosts. This is also a great place for a quiet paddle down the river. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

On weekends, landlubbers can rent sailboats and take to the water. Walking or cycling leads into the largely-wild Weaselhead Natural Area, where lucky visitors can catch a glimpse at such wildlife as beavers, deer and various breeds of waterfowl.

Check out the Old City Hall, the Hudson's Bay Company and the old Bank of Montreal Building, which now houses a vast music store.
