This park's rugged, hilly terrain is full of paths and trails for hikers, bikers and runners. Take a hike on the hill, but slow down to appreciate the Rough Fescue grassland that you are passing through. Nose Hill Park contains one of the most significant examples of this grassland ecosystem left on the Canadian prairies. Large mammals such as deer and Coyotes can be seen roaming the grasslands and coulees. From the plateau, there are vistas including the Rocky Mountains, Bow River Valley and the vast plains to the east.
Nose Hill Natural Environment Park lies in the northwest part of the city. The park was created in 1980 and covers over 11 square kilometres. The hill most likely gets its name from the fact that, from certain locations and with a little imagination, it looks like a nose.
