The water feature at Upper Greenwich in northwest Calgary serves as a central, canal-like focal point weaving through the heart of the neighbourhood. This linear waterway not only enhances the aesthetic and recreational appeal of the central park with boardwalk-style pathways, trees, lighting and seating, but it also creates a year-round gathering place for residents, encouraging leisurely strolls and social connection. In the winter months, this canal is envisioned to transform into a scenic outdoor ice skating surface, offering a seasonal ice-rink experience that brings an added dimension of activity and community engagement to the development’s public realm.
