Pearce Estate Park

A really fun place for everyone. Nice and close to the river and shows what Calgary has to offer near the water. Just be cautious of punks acting friendly and hanging out right by your stuff. Never leave anything unattended or out of watch.

Great place to have a picnic and when it gets too hot you can float in the Bow River rapids!

Beautiful park with terraces that you can walk down to get to the fast flowing river. A launch for kayaks. A beach area for swimming if you dare, calm water but cold! Bird sanctuary with a board walk so you can get close to marsh wildlife. Beautiful birds.

I did not know this place. Thought of taking a different route today for cycling routine and ended up here. Absolutely loved the flow of the river. Nice place with lots of shades, not quiet though as it is close to freeway.Lovely place to spend time with your family. Will return back.

Amazing place to relax. Near downtown and has plenty of parking. The place is always crowded with people coming to relax near water. The garden is packed with people enjoying family picnics. The area is clean and the flow of water is majestic. Love coming here every couple of days during summer.

Our kayak slalom training grounds. We are so fortunate to have these amazing facilities located within the city of Calgary.

Great park. Playground. Trails to the bow river. Bow habitat fish hatchery is excellent. Staff very personable and know their fish. Super fun for kids to feed the fish. $2 pp. Check feeding dates. They also do guided tours some days Aquarium is small but fun. Great place to take kids. Reasonable price.

A wonderful place to chill with the family.Large open areas for large family picnics, church events, or small venues.Within a stones throw of the pathway that leads to the river, (follow the signs) that say Harvie passage" You'll be taken to a divided part of the bow river

Parking is a bit of nightmare if you don't arrive early, however if it's a regular day aka not a holiday that's probably less of an issue. There's tons to do here, paths going in multiple directions with lots to see along the way. There's man made rapids at Harvey passage and a nice wading area as well. Plenty of space even on Canada Day which was surprising, and lots of trees for shade. Haven't explored the science aspect of this area much but there's another thing to do! All in all a great time at a great park 10/10
