Wetland Interpretation
The Chevron Learning Pathway is at the east end of the island. Its signs describe habitat and water quality beside a constructed wetland that treats stormwater before it enters the Bow River.
From Mill Land to Park
The name honours lumberman Peter Anthony Prince. The City purchased the land from the Prince family in 1947, and the park developed in the 1950s. Festivals are part of its use today, including the Calgary Folk Festival. Check the official park information for facilities, seasonal availability and area access notices rather than relying on a fixed event or winter-activity schedule.
