Calgary Attractions
Heritage Park
Since July 1, 1964, Heritage Park has shown how people lived and worked in Western Canada, from the fur trade of the 1860s to the car culture of the 1950s. The village fills a 127-acre peninsula with the Glenmore Reservoir on three sides, at 1900 Heritage Drive SW.

Rides and Exhibits
A steam train circles the village, and a restored streetcar with varnished wood and cane-backed seats carries visitors through the grounds. On the water, the S.S. Moyie, a half-size replica of an 1898 Kootenay Lake sternwheeler, has given reservoir cruises since 1965. Gasoline Alley Museum fills three floors with antique cars and trucks, gas station signs and Canada's largest collection of restored gas pumps. Across the whole park there are more than 180 exhibits and buildings.

Getting There
In the summer season, the Route 402 shuttle runs from Heritage Station about every 20 minutes, and Route 20 and MAX Teal and Yellow come close too. By car, use 14 Street SW and Heritage Drive.
Nearby Communities
Eagle Ridge is right beside the park, and Kelvin Grove, Chinook Park and Haysboro are a short drive east. I'd add a walk on the reservoir pathway before or after a visit.
