Parks Wayfinder: Discover Calgary Parks
Summer is in full force and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and visit Calgary’s many parks. The Parks Wayfinder Map is a tool that helps you search for the nearest washroom, drinking fountain, waste/recycling disposal, firepit, picnic table, off-leash area, sports field, park vendor, and other amenities available in City parks.

When it Roars, Stay Indoors
Summer is a beautiful time of year to spend outside under the warm sun, but it’s also Calgary’s most active storm season. While storms can be mesmerizing and exciting, they can also be dangerous.
Summer storms often bring hail which can damage property and cause injuries. Plan ahead by parking under shelter, securing items that might blow away, removing weak branches from trees, and clearing debris from your yard.
During a storm, it’s best to stay in an enclosed building or hard-topped vehicle. Stay away from high ground, trees, telephone poles, picnic shelters, and open spaces, to avoid being hit by lightning.
Sign up for emergency alerts and learn more about how you can prepare by visiting calgary.ca/getready.
