Free Park - Escape to an Oasis in the Middle of the City

By ShannonJ, 9/3/07

I loved this place! I discovered the Devonian Gardens last summer when I spent a week exploring Calgary. It's an amazing tribute to children who have died. There are lots of benches, fountains and flora spread out on the three floors of the TD Tower @ 317 7th Ave SW, Calgary, AB. After discovering this quiet oasis in the city, I had lunch there the following day. You really have to see this to believe it!

Beautiful

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/16/05

As somebody who grew up in the country far from highways, towering buildings, and bright lights, I have seen many beautiful things in nature on a daily basis. After visiting these gardens I feel they too, surprisingly, satisfy my desire to see the beauty of nature each day. To anyone who wishes to complain about them, get a grip, shut-up, and learn to appreciate what you have right here in Calgary. You're very lucky to have this escape.

nice escape

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/30/05

I love that it is a garden inside a mall. A great escape for a busy day, and also a romantic atmosphere for a casual lunch date. There needs to be more seating/benches through out, though.

I loved it!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/5/05

I found it to be a wonderful escape from the freezing busy city. Right in the middle of Downtown Calgary, in TD Square. Nice spot to take a break from shopping or work and have lunch, feed the fish or just enjoy the flowers.

Basically, it's a nice garden inside a shopping mall.

Nothing anywhere near mind blowing, and nothing you'll want to spend a lot of time in, but the fact it's a nice garden inside a shopping mall is cool in it's self.

Donate a dollar and get some fish food to feed the fish!
