Edworthy Park

Hazard of the Hills is set in Edworthy Park.

Created in 1962, Edworthy Park has been around for a while. There are picnic shelters and BBQ pits, plenty of washrooms, playgrounds, and trails. The trails are very popular for mountain bikers as well as walkers. The paved pathways join up with the Bow River Pathway and run all the way downtown to Princes Island Park and farther east all the way to Valleyview Park. It is hoped that one day a path will run from Edworthy to Haskayne Park, Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, and through to Cochrane.

A longtime favourite for family reunions, school class trips, and throwing rocks into the river. Angel’s Cafe is close to the north entrance if you’re in the mood for a dinner not cooked over the campfire.

As a crime writer, it’s nice when you’re visiting a park to get ideas of how to kill your characters, and the parks authority provides you with an itemized list.
