Construction is now starting at Prairie Winds Park to get that much needed facelift that you
helped shape by sharing what you wanted to see in your park.

The upgraded park will
have new features like a lookout at the top of the toboggan hill and better
access into the park. We are also relocating the tennis courts to the southeast
corner of the park, which people told us is an underused area. We’re adding lighting there too to extend the
hours people can play.
Revitalizing a well-loved park
Other new elements of
the park include an exciting new playscape, new wading pool with a lazy river,
and a junior-sized cricket pitch that will replace the existing baseball
diamond – just to name a few.
Prairie Winds Park has been a well-loved
and well-used park in Calgary’s northeast for the past 25 years. The
redevelopment of the park will revitalize and provide it with much-needed
upgrades and improvements so it can continue serving the growing communities
around it.
Being active and healthy are important to
your quality of life. Having an upgraded space at Prairie Winds Park gives
Calgarians another space to get out, be active and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Construction closures
While construction is happening, certain
areas of the park will be closed to the public. Closures and construction
updates will be provided at calgary.ca/prairiewindspark
and on Twitter using #prairiewindspark.
Construction is expected to be completed by
the summer of 2017.
