John Hextall Park is a quiet neighborhood park with open grassy areas and a few walking paths that wind through the trees, making it a great spot for a short stroll or relaxing in the sun.

The Elbow River Traverse is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge spanning the Elbow River, just upstream from its confluence with the Bow River. Opened by the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, it connects the East Village to Inglewood, creating a seamless link between two neighborhoods. The bridge’s sleek, minimalist design offers wide views of both rivers and the downtown skyline — a perfect spot to pause and take in Calgary’s riverfront landscape.

Located where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet, The Confluence marks the birthplace of Calgary and the site of the original Fort Calgary built in 1875. This area has long been a gathering place for Indigenous peoples and today serves as both a historic landmark and a place of reflection on the region’s layered past. Walking paths and interpretive signs make it easy to explore this meaningful site right at the edge of downtown.

Pumphouse Park sits on the south bank of the Bow River, adjacent to the historic Bow River Pumphouse No. 2 ( or Pumphouse Theatre), built in 1913. This park offers picnic areas, benches, and stunning views of the Bow River, along with access to riverside trails.

Absolutely worth a visit. The peace bridge is a work of Santiago Calatrava. Although it is not as a spectacular as the bridge of strings in Jerusalem and the red is quite untypical for his work, this bridge is a highlight of downtown Calgary sightseeing. You can cross the bow river here and enjoy the view.

Look out for the beavers that live on the bank of the Bow river and can be seen from the bridge and vicinity. Great spot for a picnic if you have mozzie spray at the ready.

The bridge here is a great connection to the other side of the river. You can choose which side of the river you want to continue your journey. Going from here towards downtown, you can go on either side of the river.

Nice view of the river below, and the city above. Connects the cycleways on either side with each other. A nice looking architectural piece as well.
