It's a park. It's home to Shakespeare in the Park and the Calgary Folk Festival. It's a skating rink in winter. There's a lovely restaurant with an iconic patio for sipping wine or having lunch. Sandwiched between downtown and Sunnyside there will be cyclists, rollerbladers, runners, walkers and buskers. You can walk to a movie at Eau Claire Cinema if there's nothing interesting at The Plaza right in Kensington.

Food Scene

The pizza is authentic Napoleonic with a thin crust baked in a high temperature wood fired oven. A little pizza, a little red wine, a nice espresso. Mama Mia!!!
