6 Secret Gardens and Parks in Calgary

For families who love to switch up activities when enjoying a day out, Sandy Beach Park is a great spot to get them all in. Go for a bike ride along any of the main paths and be sure to check out the suspension bridge. When you're done, settle down for lunch at one of the picnic locations. Sites include tables, outdoor grills (bring your own charcoal) and, in some cases, fire pits (although these are very popular so go early to secure one). Kids will love the shaded playground and the fact that there's lots of space to play Frisbee or just run around.
