One of my favourite parks in the downtown core! Great for all ages! The water feature is a fabulous splash area for babies all the way up to school aged and is often not busy at all! The gardens are well maintained and there is a public washroom, restaurant and library on the site.

A real charmer of a city park. Beautifully preserved with its Victorian characteristics intact. A very interesting and slightly unusual War memorial, and a huge impressive mounted statue for the Boar War. A lovely setting for a break while exploring downtown.

This park is beautiful, and I wish that I could spend more time here but there is a problem with homeless population here. I was here last week around 6 pm and I had to carry my dog out of the park because there was so much broken glass all over the pathways.

  • Jon Nash

Beautiful park used as a Victorian garden then turned the oldest library in Alberta , I believe in 1823. Alexander Calhoun was the head librarian for 36 years. A new library was built on 14th St SW near River Park and was named after him

  • Rob Maciak

Very beautiful park (particularly now that the protests no longer seem to happen here on Saturdays). Sometimes they throw a stage up just behind the library and have concerts! Was very cool to watch my friend and colleague Deborah Nyack

  • Simon Nettleton

Freedom rally, tons of fun, great to see people enjoying themselves and seeing full faces instead of just a pair of eyeballs!! Great fun, nice park and neighborhood with lots of random and rare store fronts...

  • Eugene Bernabe

A gem in downtown Calgary. This is a great place to unwind and relax specially if your office is within walking distance. Took a quick walk after work and was pleased to see a market during summer.

  • E. RUTH K.

Lovely flowers, paths and monuments. So much to see. Well designed. Trees, squirrels, birds to enjoy in their surroundings. Worth taking a stroll thru. Plus there is the library.

  • Brandon Wynnychuk

A very well maintained park right in downtown. Beautiful flowers, fountains, and light fixtures right by the historic library. An excellent summer destination spot

  • Naomi Barclay

It’s a lovely park, but being in inner city and across from Sheldon Shumir it will always have some homeless population in the area. Still beautiful though.

  • Brian Viens

Love this park and the library. Innercity could use more of that.. the grounds keepers do a marvelous job keeping the grounds clean and vibrant.

  • Mikey Jordan Wilder

Central Memorial Park is a beautiful piece of landscaped park offering a sunny walk with landmarks and accrediting plaques of local history.

  • Kodi Hutchinson

Great library with a real music element to it. Photo from a workshop featuring JUNO winning guitarist Mike Rub and pianist David Restivo

Central Memorial Park is truly beautiful and a warm reminder of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

  • Ken Stock

A nice place to sit on a weekend. Best during summer and fall. A good sized park enveloped in the downtown area.

  • Harry Hao

Nice park to walk around. Especially pretty during the summer with all the flowers and the fountains.
