Olympic Plaza, Urban park in downtown Calgary, Canada
Olympic Plaza is a public plaza in downtown Calgary with about 1.2 hectares of space. The site features a reflecting pond, an outdoor stage, and ample seating areas designed for gatherings and events.
The plaza was built in 1988 as the official medal presentation venue for the Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. It was created as part of the infrastructure developed for this major international sporting event.
Throughout the year, this space hosts the city's major festivals, concerts, and public gatherings where residents come together. The location reflects how Calgary residents celebrate and connect as a community.
The plaza is open from 6 AM to 11 PM daily and is located directly next to City Hall CTrain station for easy access. Conditions vary by season, so plan for weather changes, especially during winter months when ice and snow may affect walkability.
The plaza has one of Calgary's few refrigerated outdoor ice surfaces that transforms into a skating rink during winter. This ice rink becomes a popular gathering spot for skaters and families during the cold months.
