Bowness Park offers a variety of amenities such as a shallow lagoon for paddle boating, boat rentals, a children's train ride, and a wading pool. In the winter, visitors can enjoy ice skating on the lagoon and other winter activities like cross-country ski trails and ice bikes.
The park was built before the First World War by a local land developer as a weekend retreat for nearby Calgarians. It once had a swimming pool, carousel, and orthophonic device on the lagoon.
