I also took a few pictures yesterday evening:

I expect 100’s of trees to flank the perimeter of the building!

I love the long shots with pavement in the foreground. We need to cover the grounds in Solar Roadways!

Could always part of stampede park an actual park?

 

[Mountain Man]

Isn't Enmax Park part of the Stampede Grounds?

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Yes it is.

 

[CalgaryTiger]

Enmax Park part of the Stampede Grounds

Yes it is

Is it though? Have you ever been there, I haven't?

Maybe I'm alone and fair enough if I am but all the pavement at Stampede Park bugs me, It has a great location that's right on the river but is such poorly used.

Any hints to where? Stampede Park? North of the park?

I was told the parking lot west of Cowboys

 

[DiscoStu]

Enmax Park is actually a pretty decent little park, but I doubt most people know it even exists considered how hidden away it is.

Of course I’ve been there haha, I post photos from all over the city all of the time. And yes, as I said, it is part of Stampede Park.

You’re obviously not alone in thinking that Stampede Park is gross. Just not much to be done about it other than what we’re already doing. They need the open space for the event to happen in, therefore parking. At least the north end will finally be developed.

Until midways and fair rides don't need surface area, or technology advances a cheaper mass surface treatment of an exhibition park, it will probably remain poorly used.

For comparison - this is where Oktoberfest takes place.

I think it would be possible to improve the perimeter of Stampede park, but the interior is likely destined to be a paved expanse.

 

[CalgaryTiger]

improve the perimeter of Stampede park

I guess that's what I mean, I get that at its guts it is a fair grounds. But I'd like for its interfaces to be improved.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Thankfully that is imminent/occurring at this moment. It’ll just take time.
