Riley Park

This is a beautiful park in the vicinity of downtown, Calgary. It has plenty of trees, grassy ground, benches to enjoy shade or sun, and a paved trail to enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling.nThe park has a children play ground with lots of equipment to amuse children of diverse interests, and It is always buzzling with children.nThe park has a city and district cricket league established in 1908, a well-built pitch, net practice area, and a lot of cricketers of different age groups and genders exercising, stretching, running, practicing, or playing tournament matches. The league has many teams, and anyone can join a team and practice or play there.nThe park is popular for its wadding pool for all ages of people. Currently it is closed to the public. I have never wadded in a pool, so I look forward to visit the park once the pool is made available to the public.nStreet parking is available on the streets for which you have to pay, but after 6:00 pm and on Sundays, you may park for free.nI cannot agree more with one of the reviewers who said this park was an oasis.

A beautiful walk in the summer, great bike paths, and amazing view in the winter months. I watched the sunrise in the winter leaving work on my night shift. The full moon was amazing as I heard to work.

Love this park, we visited while in Calgary. Awesome for kids of all ages, you can picnic, swim or play on sldes just to name a few. There are also benches and lifeguards on duty. The changing rooms and washrooms were also clean.nnNo dogs are allowed, the place is also well maintained, with free parking on Sundays and holidays. That's always a welcomed plus.nnThis is somewhere i will definately visit again.

A smaller park not too far from downtown in the NW. It is perfect for families and anyone who wants to relax in the sun, but it's not big enough for biking or going for a walk. It's quite pretty. There are flowers, a wading pool, The Calgary & District Cricket League founded 1908 and now the Riley Park Bandshell. I definitely recommend it as long as you're okay with lots of people.

A nice and cozy park close to DT. It has lots of open space to spend some good family time. There is a splash pad as well during the summer. Children play ground area is also nice.
