Reviews Carburn Park - Calgary

Visitors to Carburn Park can experience two man-made ponds, a regional pathway, and numerous wildlife, waterfowl, and wildflowers in a large natural area park along the Bow River.

Carburn Park features a significant deciduous forest with Balsam Poplar trees and shrubs such as American Silverberry, Saskatoon, Choke Cherry, and Canada Buffaloberry.

Carburn Park is home to a variety of wildlife including fish-eating birds like Belted Kingfishers and Great Blue Herons in the ponds, and diving ducks like Common Goldeneye and Buffleheads in the main river channel.

Carburn Park was created in the 1970s and was named after the company that helped acquire the land and construct the ponds. The park was once part of a prairie empire and had a railway right-of-way running through it.
