Mitford Park

Mitford Park is one of Cochrane’s best-kept secrets. Enjoy the amenities provided throughout the park, which runs parallel to the Bow River, such as two baseball diamonds, a covered stage, and an adjoining soccer/rugby pitch. Mitford Park has played host to several community events including the Summer and Winter Festivals, as well as the annual Canada Day Festival and several summer concerts. Picnic at several different tables and benches scattered throughout the park amidst the stunning scenery or let the kids loose at the adjoining skateboard park to burn off some energy. Take a hike or bike on the paved paths. There are two ponds in the park and the upper pond is maintained for skating and shinny in the winter. Swimming is not allowed in the ponds that are stocked annually with rainbow trout, but visitors are more than welcome to cast a line in the water. Bring a camera because you’ll want to capture the stunning Alberta sunsets and those picturesque moments that nature offers.
