If you were asking based on my review, the western edge has a couple of entrances, but look up the Shannon Terrace Day Use area and/or Google Map directions from where you are to the Shannon Terrace Day use Area. From the parking lot you have a nice walk to paths along the Fish Creek River, which is quite low now but very nice still. Or look up Bebo Grove entry or Votier's Flats. All will bring you eventually to parts of Fish Creek River. If it's the Bow River you want, then look on Google Maps and use the Directions functions to find your way to the various entries. For example, Mallard Point, off Canyon MEadows Drive. Get on Canyon Meadows Drive from Anderson, for example, drive east and it'll take you into thepark. Hope that helps.

Yes of course. Also, the Calgary Zoo has pandas you can visit.

Yes. Depending on where you are coming from in the City of Calgary, light rail 201 or bus #3 goes there. The park remember is huge so there are probably more than one stop.

I would choose Fish Creek Park, but I am opposed to animals in cages, so I am biased. I much prefer walking around a natural park, enjoying the scenery, stopping to sit on a bench and maybe having a bite to eat from the cafe, or a picnic lunch. I hope this is helpful.

You are right, Edmonton's park is larger, Fish Creek comes in at the 5th largest Urban park in Canada. It is a lot smaller than Edmonton's. The Edmonton Park is the 4th largest urban park in North America. The first being the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, followed by Franklin Mountains State Park, then the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. To see the full list of world wide largest urban parks you can see them on the "List of urban parks by size - Wikipedia"

Nothing close to the park, try the university of Calgary, recreation department...

come in from the north side at the west end, from Woodbine area

This isn't a question. It's a STATEMENT in disguise. If you have nothing to HIDE, you hide nothing. Blame implies intent. If a facility in Canada attempts to engage in arbitrary searches at any public facility or event, this should demonstrate a personal sense of safety and security knowing protection of all users is the desired result. It's unfortunate you find our rules offensive to your delicate sensibilities
