Sightseeing
Edworthy Park
5050 Spruce Dr SWBeautiful natural area in the middle of the city.
Great example of urban design and art done right. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, bike or walk across the Peace Bridge to downtown. Especially spectacular views at night.
Calgarians were in an uproar over cost overruns and lack of consultation before the Peace Bridge was completed. Then, the day it opened, everyone completely fell in love with it.
