South Glenmore Park, Calgary

Unspoiled park and grassland line the south side of Calgary's Glenmore Reservoir. A walking and cycling path runs along the bluff above the shoreline as part of a 16 kilometre circuit around the north and south park. Tennis courts and a playground are available, too, but the primary attraction is the set of docks of a small, city-run sailing school. On weekends, landlubbers can rent sail boats and take to the water. Walking or cycling leads into the largely-wild Weaselhead Natural Area, where lucky visitors can catch a glimpse at such wildlife as beavers, deer and various breeds of waterfowl. South Glenmore Park is truly worth a visit!
