Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, Provincial park in Rocky View County, Canada.

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park covers 3,297 acres (1,334 ha) of grassland and ranch land on the north bank of the Bow River, mostly in Rocky View County, with small portions in Calgary and Cochrane. The park opened to visitors on August 9, 2011, and has about 28 kilometers of maintained walking paths.

Plans for the park began in 2006, when Neil Harvie's children sold 3,246 acres to the Government of Alberta below market value to prevent development. The province paid $40 million plus a $27 million charitable tax receipt, and the family set up a $6 million foundation. An order in council designated the provincial park on April 17, 2008, adding 51 acres for 3,297 total; it opened to visitors on August 9, 2011.

The park takes its name from Glenbow, the Harvie family's ranch, and the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation set up under the 2006 land sale funds education and trail work. The visitor centre covers the area's history and geology, and school and family programmes run from it.

The paths are walkable year-round and regularly maintained, allowing visitors to hike during most seasons. The visitor center provides information about trails, wildlife, and available programs, operating from sunrise to sunset daily.

The park's creation began in 2006, when Neil Harvie's children sold 3,246 acres to the Government of Alberta below market value; appraised at $67 million in 2005, the land went for $40 million plus a $27 million charitable tax receipt, and the family set up a $6 million foundation for the park.
