Our restaurant, located in Central Memorial Park, is an homage to the quiet spaces we go to experience nature within a city, and to the park’s century old “Garden Rooms” used for courting in Victorian times. Filled with natural light, open to the summer breeze and warmed by fireplaces to dispel the cold of winter, Park is a verdant oasis in the heart of downtown Calgary. The venue is as romantic as it is gorgeous, making it an ideal setting for intimate gatherings.
