This summer, it’s time to get out and play. Calgary Recreation has FREE programs for all ages.
Fit Parks
Fit Parks are Calgary parks with outdoor fitness equipment. Some parks have more options than others, but there is a variety at every park. They are designed for adults (or at least 13+) and at select times, you’ll find a certified trainer there to guide you through a workout.

Mobile Adventure Playground
The City of Calgary has a mobile adventure playground that spends the summer travelling between city parks. The pilot program was so successful that over 2000 children visited the playgrounds over the summer. It has continued on and expanded into more locations. The adventure playground rotates all summer through a variety of parks.

Park n’Play and Stay n’Play
Park n’ Play is a free outdoor drop-in program for children aged 6 to 12. You can normally drop your kids off from 10 am – 3:30 pm and they’ll keep busy with loads of activities, games, and crafts. If your child is younger than six, they can take part in Stay n’ Play, a free outdoor drop-in program for children aged 3 to 5. Adult participation in this program is mandatory, so parents or caregivers must accompany kids throughout the program.
