The views at Bowmont Park

Bowmont Park

For my Jane’s Walk assignment, I decided to base it around the Bowmont Park area of North West Calgary. As stated by the City of Calgary, Bowmont Park is a 164-hectare park area situated along the North ridge of the Bow River (City of Calgary, Bowmont Park, n.d.). This area has multiple different paths, hiking trails, and picnic areas that always have a stunning view of the Bow River itself, as well as the community of Bowness (City of Calgary, Bowmont Park, n.d.). With Bowmont Park spanning the communities of Scenic Acres, Silver Springs, Varsity, Bowness, and Montgomery, there are multiple access points to areas that have their own individual feeling, while still being part of the same park. While my portion of this Jane’s Walk only focused on the Silver Springs and Varsity area, there is much to explore throughout the entire park. Although this Jane’s Walk was done during the winter, the views are still stunning and the ability for outdoor exercise is still available. This area of Calgary is always enjoyable no matter what time of year it is.
