The south end of Crowchild Trail or 37th Street SW brings motorists and cyclists to the long stretch of grass and trees that make up this park along the raised north shore of the Glenmore Reservoir. From the high bluffs overlooking the backed-up waters of the Elbow River, which supplies drinking water to the city's south end, visitors can look over the reservoir waters at small sailboats, kayaks and canoes. At the east end, the competitive Calgary Canoe and Rowing Club resides, whose athletes are regularly on the waters building their strength and skill. Looking west, visitors get an unobstructed view of the Canadian Rockies, over the brush and flats of the still-wild Weaselhead Natural Area. Endless grass on which to lay a blanket down and several proper picnic areas are perfect places to enjoy a meal. Public washrooms and numerous parking areas are available. The park is joined to the massive Calgary pathway system, enabling people on foot or wheels to travel hours in either direction. Within the park, the path is split into a paved walking path and a separate cycling/blading path. Paths encircle the reservoir, joining North Glenmore Park to South Glenmore Park.
