St. Patrick's Island Park

One of Calgary’s oldest parks, the development of St. Patrick’s Island as a public space began in the late 1890s and gained momentum with the construction of a bridge to the island in the early 1900s. More than a century later, this all-but-forgotten treasure at the city’s centre has re-emerged as an amenity-rich, family-friendly—and National Urban Design Award-winning park. We can check out the beach in the summer months, a restored channel where we can wade into the water and venture safely out onto a gravel bar. Or just enjoy the views! Also, we will seee Lowland Channel – a seasonal riparian wetland at the heart of the island, with an elevated boardwalk for no-impact access to the wetland and the Gallery Forest, an important habitat for nesting eagles, owls and songbirds. We will also identify some plants and tress the first nations would have used as tea, and medicines.
