Century Gardens

Century Gardens: A Revitalized Urban Oasis in Calgary

Century Gardens, located in downtown Calgary, was originally developed in 1975 to commemorate the city's centennial. The park's design abstractly represents the nearby Rocky Mountains and Foothills, featuring Brutalist architecture with concrete waterfalls and unique sculptures.

Redevelopment and Modern Features

In 2021, Century Gardens underwent an extensive $16 million redevelopment to enhance its appeal and functionality. The revitalized park now includes:

  • Central Splash Pad: A new water feature providing a refreshing space for visitors during warmer months.
  • Wooden Amphitheatre: An inviting area designed for public gatherings and performances.
  • Pavilion Buildings: Two new structures housing public washrooms and potential spaces for future food concessions.
  • Upgraded Waterfalls: Restoration of the original heritage waterfalls, preserving the park's historical essence.
  • Restored Sculptures: Art installations have been refurbished and repositioned to enhance the park's aesthetic appeal.

These improvements have transformed Century Gardens into a more open, welcoming, and safe environment for both residents and visitors.
