Sandy Beach Park

This is a wonderful place to bring the family for a walk or ride a bike. Beautiful riverside location. It has many picnic sites, bbq stand, fire pits, playgrounds, pathways, seasonal washrooms and water fountain. There are plenty of green space and tall trees. It has off-leash area for dogs to enjoy too. Only four stars because we didn’t expect that the new play ground will get crowded on a Monday morning.

What a beautiful hidden gem of a place!nnWe had picked up some ice cream at Village Ice Cream, and while looking at Google Maps, we spotted this area. We are so happy that we decided to check this place out.nnThere's a nice playground at this park, but that's not the drawing point. You can easily walk onto the Rocky Beach area next to the river. The river is very shallow, so there's no worry about being caught by any currents. People still launch their little rafts and float down the river.nnIt's a great place to bring your family. There's plenty of grassy areas for bbqs and picnics. Kids can frolic in the water or skip some stones.nnWhat a wonderful little place in Calgary!

Nice area within the city to decompress. Go for a walk by the river, exercisebicycling or skating on paved trails- connects to the athletic park, family and friends gathering day use areas - bbqing and alcohol is allowed , or just to read a book. There is also a kids' playground and designated off leashe areas. You can also go for a coffee or an ice cream to the Britannia Plaza located uphill on the west side of the river. Lots of options for parking

This park was awesome and the scenery was beautiful from every path taken. Excellent for all ages including pets to enjoy the scenery, trails, play ground, picnic areas or the river itself.
