Bowness at a glance

Bowness was named by developer John Hextall after Bowness-on-Windermere in England's Lake District. Canada Olympic Park, with its ski jumps and bobsleigh track from the 1988 Games, rises on the hill just south of Bowness. Bowness was a separate town until Calgary annexed it in 1964, and its main street still feels like a small-town centre. The Bow River floods of 2013 hit low-lying streets in Bowness particularly hard, leading to new flood barriers along the river. Bowness Park has a lagoon used for canoeing and paddle boats in summer and for skating in winter.
