Mitford Park is a 34-hectare regional park located along the north bank of the Bow River. The park includes a covered outdoor stage, pedestrian/cycling pathway along the Bow River, ball diamonds, soccer/rugby field, skateboard facility, ponds and a seasonal washroom. The major event here is the Canada Day concert, held on July 1.
Skating:
Once the pond ices over and is safe for skating, the “thin ice” signs will be removed, allowing residents to enjoy this beautiful amenity. The rink often opens in pre-season condition, when the ice is skateable but not quite ready for our equipment. Once it’s safe for our operators, the ice-surfacing machine will keep this treasure up and running as long as weather conditions permit.
- Lights are on until 10 p.m. each evening.
Fishing:
The pond is stocked each year with trout for fishing, in partnership with the Alberta Conservation Association, and is a favourite spot for kids.
- Anglers 13 years old and younger are allowed to use bait and keep one trout per day.
- All other anglers 14 years and older must release their catch and use single barbless hooks on their lures or flies.
- Absolutely no bait is allowed for anglers 14 years and older.
- A fishing licence is required for anyone 16 years and older.
Night fishing and ice fishing are not permitted.
