Located adjacent to the Bow River, the four-hectare Jim Uffelmann Memorial Park extends from River Avenue to northeast of the SLS Centre. As one of Cochrane’s most popular multipurpose parks, it serves many community members and hosts a multitude of activities, including pathways for walking and cycling, a designated off-leash dog park, asphalt trails, open park space, benches and multiple river access points.
Description
Beginning mid-May 2025, we will will launch the first phase of riverbank rehabilitation to address significant erosion along approximately 485 meters of the park’s riverbank. This project involves installing natural stabilization materials and native vegetation to stabilize the area and support ecological restoration.
Updates
Phase 1 of the Jim Uffelmann Bank Rehabilitation project was successfully completed earlier this year, and Parks staff are encouraged by the results. The live stakes and rooted plants have shown strong germination and growth, aided in part by higher-than-average rainfall over the summer. These favorable conditions have supported healthy vegetation establishment, which is critical to the long-term stability of the restored riverbank areas.
Temporary fencing remains in place around the site and has proven effective in protecting the new plantings. We thank the community for respecting these barriers, which will stay in place through the fall and winter to give the plant material additional time to take root and mature.
Looking ahead, a funding request for Phase 2 of the rehabilitation will be submitted for consideration in the 2026-2028 budget. This next phase will continue the riverbank restoration, extending eastward from the areas completed in Phase 1.
Background
Recognizing the Park's importance to the community, Cochrane wanted to understand how the park is being used today and what the current environmental conditions are so that the park can be enjoyed for generations to come. Cochrane worked with external consultant EDS Group Inc. to conduct a geotechnical and environmental assessment to identify any environmentally sensitive areas, and understand current uses for the Park.
The study was initiated because of concerns surrounding the number of conflicts reported to Cochrane between different recreational uses in the Park, visible evidence of bank erosion on the slopes to the Bow River and a desire to understand the environmental sensitivity of the Park.
The environmental assessment identified significant erosion along the riverbanks. One of the recommended actions is to implement erosion mitigation strategies within the park to prevent further degradation.
Impacts to public
Temporary fencing will be in place to protect new plantings and support natural regeneration. The overall impact on park users is expected to be minimal. Parking will not be affected, and the pathway and off-leash dog area will remain open throughout the duration of the work. Visitors are asked to follow all posted signage and stay within designated areas to help ensure the project’s success.
How does this project benefit the community?
Increased community connectivity and care for our open spaces and natural areas.
Strategic alignment
This project supports the 2022-2025 Strategic priority of protecting, nurturing and enjoying our natural landscape, creating a vibrant and active community with connected neighbourhoods and bringing people together physically and socially.

We use the word "anxiety" these days to describe so many behavioural presentations in kids and it seems that everyone has it. Turns out, anxiety is normal and necessary for all of us. When our
experiences, our neurochemistry, or (often) a mixing of both can sometimes lead kids to getting stuck in an anxious state when there's no real danger present. In this workshop we will talk all about why kids these days seem to be more anxious than ever before, when we should get concerned about it, and just what us big people can do to help navigate the often very big emotions that surround anxiety.
