Riverstone is home to acres of green space, trails, parks and playgrounds, intended to keep you connected to nature. There is not a season that goes by that you can’t find some way to get outdoors, but spring motivates us to dust off the warmer weather gear and ignites a wish to try new things.

Here are the top spring activities to try around Riverstone.

  • Learn to fish

    In Calgary, you can fish pretty much anywhere on the Bow River, and with access to Calgary’s southern riverbanks, you can do just that. Whether you’re a seasoned angler, or someone who had never cast a line, you can enjoy recreational activity, learning the art or mastering your craft. Fishing licences for 2024 are available now, so be sure to learn what kind of licence you need and obtain it before you go.

  • Go birdwatching

    With a close proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park, and with creeks, woods and nature at your doorstep, Riverstone and the surrounding area is home to many birds. From tiny and quick hummingbirds in your own backyard, to huge, gliding pelicans by the river, you’re bound to see some stunning birds. Many begin their migration back to Alberta in April, so grab your binoculars and your birdwatching guide and see what you can find.

  • Hit the greens

    Drive about 5-20 minutes any direction from Riverstone and you’re sure to find a golf course. This means, no matter your skill or ability, you are likely to find an ideal course for you. A nearby standout at this time of year is LaunchPad Golf. Heated suites mean you can golf in most weather, and the full-service restaurant and arcade mean you can enjoy yourself even if the golfing has to take a pause.

  • Start a garden

    In Calgary, it’s best to start most seedlings indoors between January and March, then transfer those outside after May Long Weekend. If it’s too late to plant your own seedlings, you can always pick up ready-to-transfer plants, vegetables and fruits from a local garden centre or nursery like Spruce It Up, which is a quick 10 minute drive from Riverstone.
