Adjacent to engineered wetlands and the South Bow River Bridge, the Largarge Meadows Day Use Area is a great spot for viewing birds and other wildlife.

Lafarge Meadows is a approximately 60 hectare area located on the south side of Stoney Trail S.E., running parallel to the west bank of the Bow River. Formally, a gravel pit, Lafarge Meadows has been transformed into a wetland landscape. The transition from roughly 25 years of mining to the present park landscape is the result of collaboration and partnerships between the Alberta Government, the City of Calgary, Lafarge Canada Inc., industry, and the private sector.

Storm water runoff from the surrounding neighborhoods, contaminated with pollutants and sediment, fill the engineered wetlands of Lafarge Meadows. These pollutants and heavier sediments settle to the bottom of the wetlands, resulting in a cleaner outflow of water. This process helps maintain healthier and cleaner water flows to the Bow River. These wetlands are part of a large network of engineered wetlands in the park that provide habitat for diverse insects, birds, amphibians and mammals.

Note: The water is not safe for swimming, due to the engineered nature of the terrain. There are no picnic tables on-site, and campfires are not permitted. Visitors should be aware that water levels can fluctuate depending on the season and during inclement weather, and in winter the ice is unsafe for walking and skating.
