90 Avenue & 24 Street South West (Oakridge) Calgary, AB T2N 1J4 +1 403 268 2300 (City Information) http://www.calgary.ca/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_2_771_203_0_43/http%3B/content.calgary.ca/CCA/City+Hall/Business+Units/Parks/Parks/Major+Parks/SW+Major+Parks/SW+Major+Parks.htm |
Unspoiled park and grassland line the south side of Calgary's Glenmore Reservoir. A walking and cycling path runs along the bluff above the shoreline as part of a 16 kilometre circuit around the north and south park. Tennis courts and a playground are available, too, but the primary attraction is the set of docks of a small, city-run sailing school. 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.
