  • My little girl loves going there and my wife also loves it so I love it too. All kidding aside I do love this park ... I love the training pond for teaching fishing to little ones. This helps with those who can't get out of town but want to teach kids about fishing or aquatic habitats or even life in general. Water is life and this is a great way to introduce kids to the basics. I look forward to the clinics as does my little girl. People were loving the picnic area - it almost seemed like a smaller version of the Bowness Lagoon and its latest upgrades. I love the interpretive areas where I can teach my little girl about birds and fish and habitats. We spent a half day there but we could have done a full day with all the other work being done by the river. I think that the playground could be improved to have an aquatic theme of some sort akin to the playground at the Science Centre. I wonder if they could simulate a salmon swimming upstream? A tunnel that simulates what a fish might see as it develops? A beaver dam that doubles as a climbing apparatus? I was thinking that the toy shop could be a little less gimmicky and more on the fisherman side to be honest. It would be great to be able to sign off on the WIN card on the spot and we had difficulty with that. The tour tells us about how they make fish and they populate lakes and ponds but could they provide advice on lures and places to catch and best conditions to catch and so on. My little girl got one of the free fish rods from them and was keen to use the pond and even grabbed a net and lures and a tackle box for us to pay for but we will do that the next time for sure. We disappointed her that day but we promised many returns this summer as our training to get out on a pond or lake next year or this year. I also think that with its positioning on the Bow River that they could be making more from automated machines during the day and after hours. I also understand that the homeless make the area their habitat but could we not put in an automated toilet at that stop like we have on 17th and East Village? A toilet that closes at 4PM does not help when people stay until 8PM or later. At least some port-a-potties maybe ...? People love the place and it is a hidden treasure and I look forward to how the parkway in that area will be enhanced to connected to make a park from Fort Calgary to the bird sanctuary as this is the central point between the two. Kensington and Memorial Drive has had many improvements over the years so should this as it bookends the river pathway experience just like Bowness and Fish Creek.
