Do What the Locals Do – Episode 10 – Calaway Park
Calaway Park is a very popular attraction in Calgary attended by many when it is open during the spring and summer. It is a place every kid dreams of going to when they are young; whether it be on the weekend or even after school with some friends, it’s always set in the back of their minds. I use to go to Calaway Park with friends, family, even my school for field trips and every time I went to the park, it was just as much fun, if not more fun than the time before. Maybe because sometimes I would finally muster the courage to go on one of the rides I refused out of fear a week before.
The park features over 32 rides designed to thrill and excite people of all ages. My favorite rides are definitely the water boats, the roller coaster and a spinner ride called chaos. Most of the rides found in Calaway Park are somewhat tame in comparison to rides found at Six Flags for example, but not to worry as they still get the adrenaline pumping through your veins.
