Edworthy Park and Douglas Fir Trail in Calgary, Alberta, Canada provides visitors with an escape from the nearby city life. Visitors to the park will find that it is a natural getaway that has been in place for many years. The location is located at the base of an escarpment. This was created by the Bow River at a time when it was much larger and flowing much harder. Many believe that the transformation happened over years of time. The park is located just 15 minutes from downtown Calgary and the various offices there.
Guests can stop by and have a picnic during the warmer months, take a walk or just sit and relax. There is a picnic area available for use and a playground suitable for preschoolers on up.

All amenities are on a first come first serve basis, but calling the city's park division can help you to secure a picnic area for your needs. There is also a running and bike path that tracks around the river very tightly.
Many of those that visit the park come for the Douglas Fir Trail. This trail has been carved out of some of the most beautiful landscapes.
