    I was amazed to see the beautiful, charming, well maintained, and super-clean park at the Glenmore reservoir on Elbow river in Calgary. Had I not visited, I would not have believed this is one of the largest, most popular, and best parks in Calgary which draws thousands of visitors, particularly, on weekends and holidays. The lush green mowed lawns, innumerable old and new trees, the humongous reservoir, natural forest area, and multitude of people engaged in various activities create an electrifying, exalting, and soothing atmosphere. The colossal park has lots of designated areas with fire pits and tables, view points, separate paved tracks for walking and cycling, children playgrounds - I saw two of them at different locations, washrooms, water fountains, tennis courts, uncountable magnificent views, benches to relax and enjoy the beautiful sceneries, and a great deal of parking lots - I came across parking lots marked A to R and one reserved for the canoe club members. Although there are numerous parking lots - at least 20 between the two contiguous - north Glenmore park and Weasel head park, on a busy day, it is challenging to find a spot at your preferred location. The parking area L, which is where the bigger and more equipped playground and the only cafeteria are located, usually gets full pretty soon. At the northern end, there is a boating club - Calgary Canoe and rowing club - where you may get a rental canoe and even learn techniques of safe boating. A sizable pair of piers supports a docking area that may be used by numerous boating enthusiasts, simultaneously. This is a must visit historical place if you visit or are in the beautiful city of Calgary. It, definitely, is a boon to Calgarians.

    Scenery from here is beautiful, and it's good place for walking, snowshoeing, skating and cross countryski.

    One of most beautiful places to bike in the city with lovely views along the trail. The path goes through a dense section, lookout for cayotes there. Overall a good loop of around 16k from parking to parking. We had the bike path to almost ourselves on a weekend which added more fun. The pathway is easy to ride and you can stop at heritage park in between for a quick snack. Trail is well marked. Lot of parking spots available.

    Just OMG! Itโ€™s a hidden gem of the city, where you can have access to breathtaking views just for FREE! LOTS of free parking lots, resting bench viewing the mountains and the river! I wanted to stay here more and watch the northern lights but the gray weather didnโ€™t allow me to go through this experience ๐Ÿ˜ž the picnic area is beautiful and a hot spot for family event photo shoots! Definitely will be coming back here again when coming to Calgary!

    The Weaselhead and north Glenmore is such a wonderful getaway without leaving the city of Calgary. I can't say enough about it! And the rest of north Glenmore park and south Glenmore park have a great pathway system for both walking and biking. I thoroughly enjoy this part of our city.

  • 5/5 Cara L. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved it!! It was easy to spread out, lots of parking, mind you... we were there at night on a week day, so probably less busy. Lots of fire pits, or things very close that work, and a skate track that is lit up at night.

    I tried out the new ice track at north Glenmore Park, located near Snowy Owl picnic site (parking lots L and J are closest). Not very busy on a weeknight at -27*C! The lights are a nice touch, and there are porta potties near both parking lots. Lots of benches and a fun loop to skate.

    The Inclusive Playgound in North Glenmore Park is not shown on Google Maps accurately - it's located right at the Merlyn Picnic Site and is just awesome: full of fun and exciting features for kids' entertainment, while fir adults there are picnic tables with BBQ grills, and the shoreline cycling/walking trail is also nearby.

  • 5/5 Greg M. 2 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous park with expansive spaces. Great walking/biking trail that goes on for many kilometers around the reservoir. Large fields to fly kites, lots of fire pits, great skating rink in the summer, and plenty of space to chill. The Elbow River feeds the reservoir and the kayaking is great!

  • 4/5 Zuhair K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was the first time I was there. There are a number of parking spots along with play structures for children to play in. We went on a long weekend and the multiple parkings were overflowing. There is a nice walking trail, with the sun out and a cool breeze it was very pleasant and refreshing. I also saw people down by the water fishing. Don't forget your mosquito spray!!

  • 5/5 Jacky I. 2 years ago on Google
    It's been a while I didn't go to this park. And the spring time always beautiful if you can get out there in late afternoon.

  • 5/5 Charlotte N. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite park in the south area because its connected right to the wooded area behind the water reservoir. Walking the trail is great and well maintained plus it's quite long and can go for miles definitely a good walk with the family. Highly walking your dog here during the sunny days!

  • 5/5 Kyssrell P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park with a looping bike trail/walking trail. It has lots of parking area and table/grill to go picnic during summer months. Also a good place to check out sunset.

  • 5/5 CBVM C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice and lovely place to have family time. Couldn't look around all park but I can tell great place for riding a bike and walking around. We really enjoyed.

  • 4/5 Diwata R. 3 years ago on Google
    Iโ€™ll rate the skating path to 4! Itโ€™s a long skating way but Was too bumpy and path was uneven. Thereโ€™s benches and fireplace. Whatโ€™s exciting is the lights during the night! Well lighted! So if youโ€™re opt for a family bonding perfect place to be!

  • 4/5 Kim C. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a bit of a drive, but so very worthwhile. The trails are beautifully laid out, the playgrounds are up to date and accessible. Will be going again.

  • 5/5 dk d. 2 years ago on Google

    Trails paved and separate for walking or cycling ( 2 trails) lots of parking, playgrounds and scenery is abundant. Huge park wit something for everyone. Appears to have barrier free access considerations as well. The whole family can enjoy this park.

  • 5/5 Moraima C. 3 months ago on Google New
    I was amazed at the outstanding outdoor skate ring. I was not expecting to see such a wonderful place. I didn't skate myself but have fun looking for the skater having fun. But even though I love dogs, I did not appreciate people walking dogs i a clear dog-free area.

  • 5/5 Jaipreet C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Born and raised close by. My parents would bike / walk this park everyday. It is really nice and peaceful. During the winter, there is skating too !

  • 4/5 Niรฑo S. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice space by glenmore reservoir. Place was not crowded when we went so it was serene. Nice place to take a walk Cyclist are very stingy when they see people by the bicycle path.

  • 5/5 Norm B. 6 months ago on Google
    What a great experience. Lots of parking, and a very good playground for kids. Love the coffee, ice cream booth they have built.

  • 5/5 Mujtaba K. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place with good people managing the park. Have always enjoyed my time here with family and friends. Highly recommend to all visiting SW Calgary.

  • 5/5 Owly K. 9 months ago on Google
    Seriously, a gem! Great walking and biking paths. No swimming allowed. Kayaking, canoeing, sailing etc. Is allowed however - no air filled boats/kayaks allowed. Excellent bird watching opportunities and youth might see the odd deer too.

  • 5/5 Ananta P. 7 months ago on Google
    My recent park visit, with a focus on biking, was a fantastic experience. Glenmore Park (North & South) offers a cyclistโ€™s paradise with its well-paved trails and scenic routes. The combination of lush greenery with touches of fall colour and well-maintained paths made for an exhilarating ride. Whether youโ€™re an avid cyclist or just looking for some outdoor adventure, Glenmore Park provides the perfect setting. I highly recommend bringing your bike and exploring this beautiful park for a day of two-wheeled fun and nature appreciation.

  • 5/5 Brian V. 2 years ago on Google
    With fire pits Xmas lights and skate paths all in the winter what a great place for a stroll

  • 5/5 Tim C. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been going there for the amazing round about skating path way! We have had really good weather the few times we have been there. There is lots of parking. There are fireplaces the ground keepers keep going, bringing fire wood every 20-35 minutes or so. Very friendly staff. The mini curling, and curling crockenou are fun for the kids. There is a hockey rink there as well for the Hockey buffs! There is a shelter to get out of the wind, and the park is very useable. So if you have kids this park will entertain them for hours. So far our average is about 2.5 to 4 hours and they never seen to want to leave! Its on the shores of the Glenmore Reservoir

  • 5/5 Abhishek M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beauty ๐Ÿ˜....even in this cold weather it looks so beautiful. Nice walk, no black ice! Can't believe if we compare it to the Glenmore of the summers.

  • 5/5 Adib Eddy E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park with lots of various paths, playgrounds, shelters, BBQ pits (reserved through the city website)

  • 4/5 Abiola A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Glenmore Park is a very large one, I mean the North Park I didn't have the time or strength to explore the South. It has got many parking areas, kids playzones, open spaces etc. If you are not driving, get ready to count your steps; I assure you, you will exceed your daily targets ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Just like with any park, your company and activities you do make it fun. Park is neat. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ As soon as we rounded up, the cleaning team sprung into action - no delay in cleaning up.

  • 5/5 Yunwoo J. 1 year ago on Google
    That's awesome place to enjoy with family and friends. It has a long bike trail and huge grass ground Also, there are a couple of BBQ Sites but to use these, you have to make a book first.

  • 4/5 Michael L. 3 years ago on Google
    I would give 5 stars but too many people walk on the paves with no reflective materials or lights.

  • 5/5 xplore w. 1 year ago on Google

    Fall

  • 4/5 Shadi M. 3 years ago on Google
    It's one of my favorite parks in Calgary. The skating path is cute; but was far too bumpy and felt like I was skating on something rather than ice at some points.

  • 5/5 Hazel B. 3 years ago on Google
    The ice trail is really fun. It's lit up at night and has a small free skate area with bleachers. Wasn't to busy at 8pm on a Monday!

  • 5/5 David R. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Glenmore Park for years with family and friends. It's the largest body of water within Calgary and as such, sailboats, canoes and kayaks can be seen during the summer months. It's is a great place for picnics with numerous tables scattered throughout, plenty of trees for shade and two decent size playgrounds for the kids.

  • 5/5 Arina 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place for the outdoor skating among the trees and pretty lights. There is an option for renting skates.

  • 4/5 Francesco P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great, long pathways with a view of the entire reseevoir. Plenty of benches and trash cans. Great for a lonely walk, a walk with others, a dog walk, a run or a bike ride. Plenty of parking in multiple locations.

  • 3/5 Mandy L. 3 years ago on Google
    The three stars are for the ice skating trail specifically. I would give North Glenmore Park five stars as itโ€™s an amazing place for dog walks and strolls, as well as paddling on the water in the summer. But back to the ice skating... The ice was ROUGH. And uneven. And just not enjoyable to skate on. I LOVE the idea of it, I love the location, I love the lights at night (I went in the day but have seen pictures of the lights). I so wish the ice was in better condition. I did one loop and left and went somewhere else to skate.

  • 5/5 Jacky N. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing park and love the idea of ice skating rink. It has few fire pits and perfect for family! The ice skating is long but some part are uneven, rough and with a slope.

  • 4/5 Kiran M. 3 years ago on Google
    Went skating with my husband and friends, the lights were so cute! I only rated it a 4 since the ice was not well kept and made it really hard to skate on in some areas. The fire pit is a nice touch to warm up with space to sit down. Otherwise a really nice outing if youโ€™re looking for something to do with friends or family!

    Nice little skating track here, you can find it on the west side of the park, there are more parking lots here than I knew about its a huge place. Seen a lot of people out x-country skiing as well, it's a great place to get out and be active!
