There are many special places as destination points and for resource protection on Nose Hill with Natural Parkland Zones or Wildlife Refuges. However, transmission and power poles contrast with nature. The Nose Promontory is a landmark. Many Owls Valley is a basin space before climbing the main slope. The Bow Valley Promontory was the first to provide wheelchair access but mountain biking caused erosion to the steep slopes. Aspen Grove Coulee is marred by weeds and water retention facilities at the low end of the coulee. The NE Promontory focuses on the West Nose Creek and the Upper Nose Creek Valleys. Porcupine Valley on the north side of the Hill offers wildlife sightings but is weedy. Rubbing Stone Hill overlooks Nose Creek valley. The north face of the slope is the focus of view from southbound 14 Street. Rubbing Stone Coulee facing NE requires reclamation work. Oher areas have much potential with proper landscape management measures. Woody plant species should be favoured to rehabilitate Shaganappi Coulee as a north and west access route for communities. The saddle near Edgemont was shaped by glacial erosion into its prominent shape; it links north and south sides of the Hill to the coulees. Landscape enhancement could be used to screen the impact of the suburban development and powerline. The central quarry area was barren and causes downslope erosion to the east. Water could be retained and infiltrated in the quarry basin. A Balsam Poplar/Willow landscape would be beneficial to wildlife and beautiful. Nose Hill Park was well enclosed by the sprawling urban scene. Uplands Prairie restoration will be costly. Gradual re-establishment of a fescue grassland landscape is recommended by the 1994 Nose Hill Park Natural Area Management Plan Technical Report.
