• Effective Date: September 30, 2025, until further notice.
• Where: Hulls Wood Washrooms
• Why: Please be advised that the Hulls Wood Washrooms are closed until further notice due to a water main break.  Portable toilets will be on site.

Effective Date: July 21 to mid-September 2025, or until further notice

Where: Shaw’s Meadow area on the west side of Macleod Trail between Shawnee Gate road and Fish Creek.

Why: The City of Calgary is undertaking essential maintenance to restore the full storage capacity and water-cleaning function of this storm pond by removing accumulated sediment. Draining of the pond will begin in late July and continue into early August, followed by sediment removal. Refilling is expected to begin in fall 2025. To minimize impacts to beavers in the area, the beaver lodges will remain undisturbed. Water levels will be lowered to encourage the beavers to temporarily relocate to nearby suitable habitat.

The goal is to complete cleaning by mid-September, just in time for the beavers to return and begin preparing for winter.

Details: 

A Trails Master Plan for Fish Creek Provincial Park was completed in 2022 and proposes a multi-use trail network accommodating a wide variety of users. The key objective is to expand on existing opportunities in the park in a manner that is safe, enjoyable, sustainable, and environmentally conscious. The highest priority is the Central Corridor Pathway – a 19 km pathway artery, running through the heart of the park and connecting day use areas to key points of interest. Portions of the Central Corridor Pathway are also segments of the Rotary-Mattamy Greenway and the Trans Canada Trail.

The Government of Alberta is proceeding with Phase 1 construction of the Central Corridor Pathway in August 2024. This includes the eastern segment of the pathway, between the Mallard Point Day Use Area up to and including, the Bow Bottom Trail SE pedestrian crossing. To improve public safety, Phase 1 will also include the following special projects:

• Special Project 1 – Realignment of a small pathway segment away from the eroding shoreline of Fish Creek
• Special Project 2 – Removal of a staircase and a new trail alignment near the community of Evergreen Estates
• Special Project 3 – Mitigation to a small pathway segment in Marshall Springs to address drainage challenges

To support construction activities, short term delays are expected along the eastern segment of the Central Corridor Pathway from August 2024 through late fall, with minor works in 2025. We recognize delays are inconvenient, however, they are necessary to ensure public safety and to support construction efficiency. Please follow all signage and do not cross construction barriers.

Temporary intermittent pathway closures may impact the following trails:

• Rotary-Mattamy Greenway
• Trans Canada Trail

The overall Central Corridor Pathway project will occur in three phases of construction, with anticipated completion in 2028.

Facilities and services in Fish Creek Provincial Park will not be impacted. Visitors looking for trail alternatives can call the Alberta Parks Information Line at 1-877-537-2757 or stop by the Bow Valley Ranche Visitor Centre.
