It's such a gem. It's thankfully never seems to be empty.

Carburn Park is a great green space nearby, where you can take your little one for walks and spend time outdoors. The park is located in Riverbend, and has bike paths and a river nearby, making it a great place to explore.

The Glenmore area has some of the most beautiful city parks in Calgary, and it's a great place to explore on bike. Grab some bikes and head to the riverside to see what Calgary has to offer, and take advantage of our central library which is cooler than Toronto's.

Calgary Full Gospel is a very music-forward and community-oriented church, a previous attendee says. They have a great kids program too, and the community is described as a 'friendlier group of people in my life.'

Bowness Park has been a Calgary favourite for more than a century, and it’s easy to see why once you’re by the lagoon. The shallow water winds through the park, with trees lining the paths and plenty of picnic areas around the shore. You can rent a paddleboat or kayak, then grab some food and find a spot by the water. Where: 8900 48th Ave. NW, Calgary, Alta.
