Introduction
Prince's Island Park is an urban oasis in downtown Calgary, Canada. This park on an island in the Bow River features large lawns, shaded walkways, flower beds and water features, and serves as Calgary's main festival venue and leisure hub — the largest riverfront park and most popular green space in the city center. Built in the 1970s and linked to downtown by footbridges — though called an "island," it is technically a peninsula in the Bow River. The park has large lawns, shaded paths, flower beds and ponds, ablaze with flowers in summer. It hosts the Calgary International Fringe Festival, Canada Day celebrations and music festivals. River Café, an upscale pond-side restaurant, is within the park. In winter, paths become cross-country ski trails. Visiting to feel Calgary's transformation from cowtown to cultural city in a riverside oasis is a relaxed, pleasant urban green experience.
