A park near the Bow River with the tallest slide in Calgary opens this summer
If you’re looking for a thrill this summer, a new park slated to open in southeast Calgary is set to feature the tallest slide in the city.
The park, named Fish Park, comes from WestCreek Developments and is located along Wolf River Drive SE near the Bow River in Wolf Willow.
According to the developers, construction on the park is nearing completion, with crews now working on landscaping and finishing touches ahead of the park’s opening.
Once complete, the park will feature a 3.5-storey tower and slide, which developers say will be the tallest tower and slide complex in Calgary. The current record holder is the slide at Radio Park in West District, which opened in September 2025.

Fish Park will also include Calgary’s first engineered-wood playground system and have direct access to the Bow River, connecting the community to Fish Creek Park.

Fish Park is just one of many parks WestCreek Developments has brought to Calgary. In 2025, Legacy and Creekview in south Calgary scored big on their outdoor play scene, with two brand-new parks and a new pump track officially opening to the public.
After the completion of Fish Park, WestCreek Development will have contributed a total of 16 playgrounds across the three communities, expanding on its commitment to building spaces that encourage movement, social connection and imaginative play for all ages and abilities.
Fish Park is set to open on Aug. 8, 2026, with a fish-themed opening celebration planned for the launch.
