What's Here

  • A large designated off-leash area
  • Cat Margetts Memorial Park, a small "park within a park"
  • A water fountain for dogs
  • A pathway along the valley edge with wide views

Down to the River

River Park is above Sandy Beach. Follow posted signs for dog rules and boundaries.

Looking After It

The City has been clearing out caragana here, an invasive shrub, so the native trees have more room.

Neighbourhoods Around It

Altadore is right beside it, with Britannia, Windsor Park and Elbow Park nearby. 14A Street SW runs along the park, and Glenmore Trail is just south.
