Mitford Park is a 34-hectare regional park located along the north bank of the Bow River. The park includes an outdoor covered stage, pedestrian/cycling pathway along the Bow River, ball diamonds, a soccer/rugby field, skateboard facility, ponds and a seasonal washroom. The major event here is the Canada Day concert (July 1).
Skating:
Once the pond ices over and is safe for skating the "thin ice" signs will be removed and residents can enjoy this beautiful amenity. The rink often opens in pre-season condition when the ice is skateable but not quite ready to allow our equipment on. As soon as it is safe for our operators... the zamboni will keep this treasure up and running as long as Mother Nature permits.
- Lights are on until 10 p.m. each evening.
Fishing:
The pond is stocked annually with trout for fishing in partnership with the Alberta Conservation Association and is a favourite with 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.
- a license is required by any person 16 or over.
- there is no night or ice fishing permitted.
