    Have a frequent guest scarf so free parking! Otherwise there was a per car fee of $5. Wonderful green spaces and walkways to explore. Dog friendly too. Horse jumping was superb. Wheel chair friendly.....  more »

    Great place to visit, always fun, always lots going on here. Would recommend if you've never been. They keep the grounds immaculate here, beautiful grass and trees, always so clean. World class show jumping. Great food selections. Lots to see for the kids; train rides, face painting, carousel. They don't charge nearly enough money to come either as admission is only $5 for adults and kids are free.

    I cannot commend the staff of this excellent venue enough. From security folk greeting us as we wended our way in, to the chap driving the golf cart that assisted a couple of the less-mobile of our group, and on down. The Southerns have done Calgary proud in creating this magnificent facility.
