About Bowness
Bowness is one of Calgary's oldest and most characterful neighbourhoods, originally established as an independent town in 1911 before joining the City of Calgary in 1964. Located along the Bow River in Calgary's northwest, Bowness has undergone a remarkable revitalization while retaining its distinct small-town charm and artistic spirit.
The community is anchored by its walkable main street along Bowness Road, home to eclectic shops, cafes, galleries, and restaurants. The beloved Bowness Park draws visitors year-round with paddle boating in summer and skating in winter. Bowness offers a unique blend of heritage character homes, renovated bungalows, and modern infills.
Located directly east of Valley Ridge, Bowness residents enjoy easy access to the extensive Bow River Pathway system, Baker Park's disc golf course and trails, and a growing arts and food scene that has made Bowness one of Calgary's most desirable inner-city communities.
