Explore Calgary Parks This Winter
Winter makes it possible to enjoy Calgary parks in a different way than any other season. Many winter activities are also free with minimal equipment needed. In winter you can skate on outdoor rinks, marvel at beautifully lit ice trails, play Crokicurl, and ride an ice bike in Calgary’s parks. You could also plan an afternoon at your local community park snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. For easier skiing, visit a park or golf course that has groomed cross-country trails.
Enjoy Calgary’s many pathways by taking a walk on a sunny winter day. Keep a list of all the birds and other wildlife you spot. You can also pre-book an outdoor firepit at a park and have a winter picnic with friends.
