A recent Calgary Herald letter to the editor asked if the city was adding more parks to offset the impact of more density being added to inner-city neighbourhoods.

The population of Calgary ’s inner city neighbourhoods on the south side of downtown (in Ward 8) has more than doubled (from about 41,000 in 1961 to about 96,000 today ) with plans for more.

Calgary has 6.7 hectares of park ( 44 per cent ) and green space for every 1,000 people, according to the 2023 Canadian City Parks Report.

The city is blessed with a lot of parks and green spaces.

There have been upgrades to Thompkins Park , Memorial Park and River Park .

Murdoch Park in Bridgeland was totally redone with The Bridges ’ master plan.

In Mission, Elbow Island Park was added along with upgrades to the pathway along the Elbow River .

Over the past 10 years , the Parks Foundation Calgary supported more than 150 park projects valued at $23 million .
