Edworthy Park
It was named after Thomas Edworthy, who immigrated to the Calgary area in 1883 from Devon, England.[1] The park has a surface of 1.27 square kilometres (0.49 sq mi), and contains over 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) of hiking and biking trails, part of the Bow River pathway.The trees that can be found in Edworthy Park include riparian woodland with aspen, willow and balsam poplar.There is also some grassland and mixed shrubland, and an escarpment where white spruce dominates.[2][3] Prior to the mid-1990s, the City of Calgary intended to eventually replace Edworthy Park with an extension of the Shaganappi Trail freeway.
