New York City has Central Park, Chicago has Millenium Park and Calgary thankfully has Princes Island Park.
In an earlier review Katie C. called PIP an oasis and I couldn't agree more. There is just always so much going on here all the time. Whether it is Shakespeare in the Park, Calgary Folk Music Festival or even just a good ol' game of Ultimate frisbee, this park is literally for everyone. They also have an amazing playground that I have been known to play once and a while!
The west side of the island always has a tons of people, so if you are looking for a quieter experience, head on over to the east side (waaah-wahhh) and go for a walk around the trails. Make sure you look for the beaver house and sometimes I've even seen the beavers wandering the paths.
For visitor's to Calgary, this is always a "Must-do!"
