Expect to see new restaurants and shops lining the streetscapes in an area called “Market Street,”, contributing to the vibrancy of the reimagined Eau Claire Plaza and area. Also, a promenade and playground for children will expand family-friendly play time and opportunities.

Green Line C-Train Station

The upcoming project is also home to the new Green Line LRT Central Station, serving as a hub for south Calgary residents travelling to and from work in the downtown core.

Also, a complete revitalization of the water park and other outdoor spaces will better equip them for activities and events year-round while providing improved accessibility for all Calgarians.

These Eau Claire festivals offer fun for the whole family as they host artisan shops, ethnic food and drink vendors, live comedy and entertainment, and so much more.

Eau Claire’s urban nature also means it is home to several restaurants, halls, and other facilities like the Eau Claire Athletic Club where you’ll find daily activities that include leisure and recreation, paint workshops, family-oriented arts and crafts, networking events, and more.

#3 – The Beautiful Prince’s Island Park

Prince’s Island Park

One of the best parts of living in Waterfront Eau Claire is its proximity to Calgary’s best downtown green space. Prince’s Island Park is a destination for many downtown workers who need a reprieve from the concrete jungle amid stunningly beautiful natural scenery. This isn’t just one of the top downtown parks, but also one of our city’s best!

All Waterfront buildings are just a few steps from the park’s bridge access, which spans over a lagoon used for public ice skating in the winter. A marshland on the island’s eastern side accommodates a diversity of wildlife, with trails used for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter.

Park Activities & Events

In the summer, these paths provide a soothing nature walk amid the downtown core while the island turns into a hotbed of activity for festivals and events. Many also use it for their typical leisure and recreation activities such as running, biking, rollerblading, dog walking, sun tanning, and river rafting.

Catch a bite at the River Café, home to one of Calgary’s best patios in the summertime while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature along the river. In the winter, this special riverside restaurant serves locally inspired cuisines that will keep you coming back for more.
