Nose Hill Park

Nose Hill Park encompasses 1129 hectares of grassland, featuring numerous trails that wind through native rough fescue grass and rocky outcrops.

Local residents and the Calgary Field Naturalists' Society prevented residential development in the 1970s, leading to the park's establishment in 1980.

The park contains numerous tipi rings and archaeological sites that demonstrate its significance to Indigenous peoples who hunted bison in this area.

Visitors can access over 300 kilometers of trails from 5 AM to 11 PM, with designated off-leash areas for dogs and multiple parking locations.

The park maintains one of North America's last remaining rough fescue grassland ecosystems, supporting 66 native plant species and diverse wildlife.
