Fish Creek Provincial Park

Fish Creek Provincial Park preserves the Fish Creek valley in southern Calgary, protecting an unusually large natural landscape within a major urban area. Stretching about 19 kilometres and covering 13.48 square kilometres, it is Canada’s second-largest urban park after Rouge National Urban Park. Its forested valley, shaped by glacial meltwater at the end of the last Ice Age, contains notable geological layers and supports abundant wildlife, including more than 200 bird species. The park serves both recreation and habitat, with extensive trails, learning and visitor facilities, swimming and fishing areas, and ongoing restoration after major floods in 2005 and 2013, aided by community stewardship.
