A very nice park, open bike paths, if you looking to be in the heart of downtown visit this park.

Its busy on nice days as it should be, and there are great food stands during the summer.

Nice place for first timers. Nothing much to visit again except the boat ride which was full of tourists.

Prince’s Island is situated North Calgary. It is a sweet little park where you can go for a stroll, relax and enjoy the scenery in a quiet environment. Squirrel and birds will be your companion during your journey, since they are all around the park.
There are lots of bridge to access the island and places to sit as well.

A colorful landscape for an afternoon walk, peaceful and pet friendly location with benches to rest.
07 October 2023 7:30
Attractions include walking path, bikers path, lots of trees (abundant shade on a sunny/warm day), children’s play park, flowing water, riverside walk etc. Family friendly, pet friendly and picnic friendly

My Favourite park in Calgary. Central, lots of nature trees, playgrounds, right next to the river. Features a beautiful cafe in the park as well.

Nice walk from the downtown area to the quiet place on the Bow River. The grounds are well maintained and easy walking.
17 August 2023 17:12
Great park right downtown, lots of open spaces to have picnics, lots of benches to sit and read.

Great place to go for a long walk. The park is very clean and the walking trails are in great shape. Good place for dog walking. There is parking in several places. If anything there could be more public washrooms.

Lots of construction, they are updating the berm but there is still a lot to explore and enjoy.

Spicy chicken burger is very good, and their fries looks homemade. Inside restaurant is very clean. I am comfortable to eat indoor.

Sometimes you need a walk down a serene park. The flowers along the pathway, the flowing lake and the green grass just what you need after a stressed week. Come with a cozy blanket and you just might find the perfect spot for a picnic

Someone said before that this is the jewelery in the heart of calgary, and I think that they were right.

It's a wonderful place in the middle part of calgary. It's full of trees, green lawn, lights and flowers.

It's a great place for everyone in calgary, even for families as there is a playground for kids as well.

There are too many tables here to enjoy time with family or friends and have a small talk with them and enjoy your time.

It's a great place to go after you finish working to sit in a calm place and think about tomorrow's plan

I recommend it to everyone.

Construction on the pedestrian bridge so you need to walk around on another bridge. Great you can still get to downtown and enjoy walking along to the Peace Bridge. Beautifu park.
24 October 2021 7:07
Wow, it's so nice here to just enjoy nature. You can set up a picnic anywhere under the trees or by the riverside. Definitely a gem. There's washroom facilities by the River Cafe. There are also bike and scooter rentals in the area. Buskers offer some music anda lovely vibe.
19 October 2021 20:13
A leisurely place to walk with the downtown skyscrapers as the backdrop! There are picinic tables placed along the trail.

Nice and relaxing park in Downtown Calgary. A lot of activities there including: sports, theatrical performances, street performers. Home of an authentic River Cafe. Don't miss a "Shakespeare by the Bow" shows during the summer months

Pretty little island between downtown and Kensington. We walked over from Kensington and it was a good walk. Well taken care of and felt very safe.
17 September 2021 13:57
I like this park for its beauty. Well maintained. In summer, there are flowers blooming, which uplift your mood. It is beside the river, so most of the times ducks/ geese come to the park and walk freely. There are play areas for kids. Tere is a cafeand public washrooms. Overall a good place to spend time with family, to take a walk or just sit down and relax. Now a days, tha Jaipur bridge is being reconstructed. So, one side walk is recently closed
28 August 2021 7:39
Typically a very beautiful, but busy park. I give it 3 stars because Eau Claire area is currently under major construction and it eliminates quite a few walkways and access points. Give yourself extra time to figure out where you need to be, if you are on the clock.
22 August 2021 18:13
Suburban Calgary oasis, fit for many activities. Festivals, picnics with family and friends in addition to many outdoor pursuits. Excellent walking, biking and running paths abound. Lots of construction on the Eau Claire (South side) due to transit infrastructure being built, Prince's Island is well worth the effort required to get there.
16 August 2021 7:33
Very nice park in the middle of the city. Very close to our house and try to go there every day for a walk. Well maintained. At times very crowded though.
18 July 2021 15:06
A nice place in the middle of the city to kick back and relax. It was busy on a beautiful day, but not so much that it interfered with our experience. People were respectful and responsible.
13 July 2021 6:24
What a great park! Cross the bridge, nice lil park/wading area for kids on the right, great place for water rafters, nice big plastic chairs to rest, walk up and down the small bridge that connects to the children's river (medium inclination and so easy), stairs everywhere! Wow awesome! They also sell water/drinks at the bike/boat rental place. The staffs over there are always so helpful and friendly (they can recommend touristy things to do in dt calgary lol). And the park is so close to chinatown/main downtown! So great! The whole length is probably less than 2 km from one end to the other end so it's so easy to train for a marathon.

Beautiful and scenic views, ideally located along bow river with green spaces for playing, partying, cycling tracks, jogging tracks and kids play area.
07 July 2021 20:16
So peaceful.

Hopefully covid stops asap.

I'd have to say there's to many people down here. But they are all beautiful people.

GOD BLESS.

AMEN.
04 July 2021 1:31
BEAUTIFUL! What a wonderful place for a picnic, or to work out.and you don't need to worry about a mask. Just enjoy being outside, safe from covid, and able to have fun. Highly recommend. Since there's nothing else were allowed to do nowadays
29 June 2021 14:12
Wow what a day! Beautiful sunshine and flowers ready to bloom. Is you want to see the geese and all their babies now is the time to head down for a view.
26 June 2021 5:40
The Calgary answer to Central Park.
Wonderful place to gather in a beautiful green oasis downtown!
22 June 2021 21:06
Prince's Island Park is a fantastic green space in the city. It's well trafficked for a reason. It's really wonderful. I love extensive green spaces in cities and I am so glad Calgary agrees. The last time I biked through i can think of multiple strangers who shared a hello with me. Great energy.

It is a very beautiful park, it is a huge park that is centrally located. You can see the big buildings at the backyard and you can see this beautiful park on the forefront. You have lovely walking paths here, you'll also find a lot of geese here. It is so green in spring with colorful flowers. This is definitely a place you should consider visiting, it is very peaceful to be in here.

My fav park in the city. Beautiful and well maintained in all seasons. Crazy busy in the summer with locals and tourists. Outstanding place for photographing local Canadian bird life and squirrels.
10 February 2019 5:41
What a gem in the heart of Calgary downtown. I go a few times a year to do photoshoots and always have a great time wandering around.
06 February 2019 22:01
So lucky to have this beautiful park right in the middle of Calgary and on the bow River. Fabulous plays for children in the summertime and great for walking and jogging with access to shops and restaurants very close by. A regular attraction for anybody that knows Calgary.
04 February 2019 5:38
A great place to take a stroll on a beautiful sunny Calgary day, great atmosphere, great vibe and several nice restaurants to choose from nearby
13 January 2019 14:06

Great place to walk around. Has public washrooms and a nearby mall to duck in and warm up during the winter. Lots of public events too!
20 November 2018 12:04
Very good park having children's play area which they can enjoy besides adults.
Has lush green lawn and trees, etc.
Has very good picnic spots with benches, has green corridor with benches for seating.
Bow river is flowing on both the sides of Prince's island which adores beauty of park.
Moreover Jaipur bridge joins island with downtown of Calgary inaugurated in 1994.
Has fountain too. Beauty of garden is increased by seasonal flower beds.
Worth visiting.
08 November 2018 6:38
Park is simply lovely all year round. The ability to attend an event and be in a natural setting is such a pleasure. Parking, however, is definitely an issue.
02 November 2018 14:51
Great place for a walk or a picnic. Springtime is awesome at this park. Like many other parks in our city is a must visit for sure.
29 October 2018 9:23
Pretty place to hang out provided the weather is good. You will see a lot of ducks, birds, and scenic views. Don't forget to walk from the lake bridge (with fountain view) to the red color peace bridge. A serene environment, brings you closer to nature.
19 October 2018 6:29
Best place ever.the garden was so beautiful.i felt so amazing.the place was so peaceful.i spent my time reading and enjoying the view of the river
09 October 2018 2:09
A staple in Calgary. Ample space occasionally filled with festivals and events. You can find a quiet spot or take a stroll through the pathways. My favourite is the wetland ponds because of the beaver!
29 September 2018 5:06
A unique park in the way that is surrounded by the center of the city and all its craziness yet has the nature feel to it along with the waters (Bow river), gardens, modest trails, a futuristic bridge and a restaurant (River Cafe) in the center of the park.

A great gateway from city life for a little bit!

Prince's Island Park is a little piece of nature in the middle of the Bow River just north of the Aux Claire neighborhood in downtown Calgary. It hosts many of Calgary's outdoor concerts and festivals.

Adjacent to the new Aux Claire Park and the pedestrian 'Peace' Bridge it is soon to be connected by Calgary's expanding "Riverwalk" to allow pedestrians and cyclists to roam from trendy Kensington, in the west, to Fort Calgary in the east.

See reviews of Aux Claire Park and Fort Calgary.

Every time I come to this park it's so lively and refreshing. Nice place to hangout with family and friends, I love this park.
16 September 2018 17:33
Love spending time at the island it is so relaxing! The gardens are so beautiful. Even after a big event it is amazing how quickly it is cleaned up.
15 September 2018 0:48
Clean (except when geese decide it's their toilet) and vibrant park. Has a playground for kids and often has music or plays going on. Also good for Pokemon go players.
06 September 2018 18:07
Love the park. Its always nice there in the daytime and even in yhe evening. I bike through there every day! Live the geese.
03 September 2018 1:06
Beautiful place to visit located close to downtown. Could be busy on the weekends and during the lunch hour. A must visit while in downtown Calgary
