―

High Park is a vibrant public space in Calgary’s Beltline neighborhood, transforming an underutilized parking lot atop the Centre City Parkade into a unique urban retreat. Created amid the COVID-19 pandemic, High Park provides the community with much-needed public space, offering a 200-meter elevated boardwalk that lets visitors stroll above the cityscape. This colorful walkway is lined with themed parklets designed for rest, social gatherings, and rejuvenation. High Park redefines urban greenspace, inviting residents and visitors alike to experience a fresh perspective of the city.
