The island park has a surface of 20 hectares and is connected by 3 bridges to Eau Claire, Downtown Calgary and Commemorative Drive and Crescent Heights community. Prince's Island Park is a part of the wonderful track and hiking trail system of the Bow River. A wetland environment can be seen at the eastern end of the island and a beautiful landscaped area at the southern arm. A number of geese and mallard ducks can be seen playing and swimming around the island park.
Prince's Island Park is also the home of the ChevronTexaco Learning Pathway. It's an environmental tutorial track on the east end of the park. It winds around a built wetland that is intended to treat stormwater before entering back to the Bow River. ChevronTexaco is an amazing pathway that provides an environmental, instructional and recreational resource for individuals that connects them with nature in a interactive way.
Go there for a picnic, or watch an event. Or maybe enjoy the river and their numerous play areas and endless paths. Have a different experience during summer days or winter days. Whatever it is you want to do or would love to do, you may certainly find Prince's Island Park a nice home and a great escape in the town.
