Naming our parks in Bridgeland Riverside is important for their recognition, history, usage and pride; otherwise known as PlaceMaking. Please tell us what you think about the proposed name for this park. We’re also wanting to understand how you use the park and what’s important to you and to offer the chance to win a draw for a gift card to a local business.
PARK IDENTIFICATION: #1
Proposed NAME of Park: Regal View Park
Rationale - Regal View Park
This steep grassy slope has long existed adjacent to Edmonton Trail… which is an historic and significant travel corridor northward. With completion of the nearby condominium projects this land was added to the Calgary Parks system as a ‘natural area park’. The hill was sculpted, trails and benches were installed and vegetation planted in 2016. On its northern boundary was an early Calgary community called Regal Terrace that, in the 1950’s became part of the new community of Renfrew. In recognition of the area’s previous name and with its amazing location and vistas we are recommending that the park be named “Regal View Park”
