A local favourite for families and friends to have an afternoon BBQ or dip in the river. If you want to use the BBQ pit you can reserve through the city of Calgary at https://www.calgary.ca/csps/parks/locations/picnic-sites.html#:~:text=Call%20403-268-3800%2C,a%20park%20or%20picnic%20site This is also a popular summer spot to float down the Elbow River, a fun and local tradition that usually starts here and ends around Mission Beach. I can supply rafts and life jackets if you wish to have a float! End of May or June is around where people start floating :)

Bring a light jacket or rain jacket!

Even though the temperatures may seem high in the day the nightly temperatures or daily ones can drop quite quickly, rain or wind can pick up quite fast. Because of Calgary's mountain location the weather can turn quite quickly - if you're moving around for the day, during the spring and summer, a jacket is great to have in your backpack! Also bring an umbrella!
