As Bowness Park approaches its centennial, the City Council has given an early go-ahead to a $10.3 million plan to improve the park. There is some doubt that the city will come up with enough funds to warrant this aggressive modernization. A council committee voted to put the improvement of Bowness Park as one of Calgary’s main infrastructure funding priorities. The project plans to concentrate the parking lots in Bowness, add a teahouse overlooking the lagoon by the park’s main gate, and remove the incredibly run-down amusement rides and mini-golf. Alderman Dale Hodges commented that the large park in his ward draws people from all over the city, and is an important feature of this city. Though the park is one of the most used in the city, it has not been given a major upgrade since the 1950’s. Take a look at the link below, and check back here for any updates on the parks upgrades.
