"Carburn Park is a vast natural area park along the Bow River with three man-made wetlands, a regional trail, and plenty of birds, waterfowl, and wildflowers to see.

Carburn Park was founded in the 1970s, and its name derives from “Carburn Aggregates,” the firm that purchased most of the land and built the ponds."

"This picnic spot is ideal for those looking for a quiet spot where they can really appreciate nature. There are multiple man-made lakes to admire and you can birdwatch – the area is home to a variety of different waterfowl such as Belted Kingfishers and Great Blue Herons. Bring your fishing poles if you’re interested in trying to catch a bite – no swimming here, though – or go for a paddle down the river in your canoe."

"The serene six-hectare wetland in the southwest part of the city is a prime example of how a developed area can be integrated with nature.
