Sightseeing

I recommend taking the C-train rather than car. Zoo parking is costly and lots are often full. You can leave your car at the Marlborough station, jump on the train and enjoy your day at the zoo.

If you are in town during the last week of August, check out Globalfest at Elliston Park. This international fire works competition is worth the low admission cost. Tickets are available at Calgary Co-ops and there is one just north of here. OR Enjoy a walk around the lake on any day. There is a good path around and birders enjoy the water and other fowl who visit.

Food scene

This restaurant on one side, pub on the other is a sure bet for delicious, reasonably priced meals. I highly recommend the Mr. Schnapp's burger, but everything is tasty and it is only a block away.

Breakfast anyone? Trans Canada Centre is a five minute walk from here and Humpty's is a great place for breakfast any time of day.

Nicely re-furbished courts at Marlbourough Park Community Centre. Courts run south to north.
