We love to chill out and enjoy leisurely activities and a diverse array of sports are enjoyed here. We have many things for locals and visitors alike.

Together, they give a chance to enjoy life, sports and such and also provides a means for fans here to support recreational activities. Some serve as locations for arts and
musical happenings
as well.
One person counted about 53 Calgary arenas, not including smaller local spots. And this number shall continue to grow with the city's population.
Wow! I mean, just imagine how many places are there to have fun. For instance, you can find 18 major natural parks in Southern Alberta. Places such as Dinosaur Provincial Park, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Fish Creek Provincial Park.
These parks highlight unique elements of our environment for their visitors, providing insight and novelty for these folks.

Let's start with McMahon Stadium and Mewata Stadium. Both get used for football, major ceremonies and other things.
For skating, a magnificent oval shaped dome modelled after the first oval stadium in America was built in Calgary. This beautiful huge, covered stadium is especially made for speed skating and leisure skating.
We call it the Olympic Oval as it was made for the
1988 Winter Olympic Games.
It conjointly serves as a home to Oval X-Treme female ice hockey team of the Western Women's Hockey League.
The Saddledome and Stampede Corral, two Calgary hockey arenas located next to each other on the Stampede Grounds, provide ice arenas for Canada's favourite sport.
The NHL- Calgary Flames, the WHL - Calgary Hitmen and other Alberta minor hockey and ice events.
Another beautifully and proudly standing facility in Calgary is the renowned Calgary Stampede's "Grandstand and Chuckwagon Track". This is the place where world's biggest outdoor rodeo takes place.
If you happen to view the roof of the white buildings you can see that the words "Calgary Stampede". At least you'll know where you are.
As you can see, one can easily find world class grounds and tracks in Calgary. Calgary arenas too.
