Prince's Island Park

Nature
1
Prince's Island Park is a major urban park on an island in the Bow River just north of downtown Calgary, linked by footbridges to nearby districts and integrated into the river pathway system. Named for Peter Anthony Prince of the Eau Claire Lumber Mill, it developed from land the Prince family donated to the city in 1947, preserving a connection to the area's early industrial past. Its landscape blends landscaped and naturalistic features, including a wetland area that supports common waterfowl. The park is also a leading public gathering place, hosting major festivals and celebrations and serving as one of Calgary's most prominent riverfront green spaces.
