Cowboys moseyed on it with plans to have events held at the park on the west of Calgary’s downtown year-round.

Vickers envisions a festival along with big music events.

“Think of things like Coachella, South by Southwest in Austin, Texas —  that gave us some inspiration for a big personality park like this,” Vickers said.

Calgary’s mayor hopes year-round events will breathe new life in the west side of downtown.

“We need these types of gathering places in all parts of our city and the type of love we are returning to the west side of downtown is very much needed,” Jyoti Gondek said.

“Sometimes it’s hard to do with city budgets. So to have a private sector partner who’s willing to step up and help us do the improvements that are needed to keep this place going, that’s been positive news for us,” Gondek said.

The long-running Cowboys Music Festival will relocate to the park starting next year.

The park, next to Mewata Armoury, covers about seven hectares, with 75,000 square feet of skateable surface, making it one of North America’s largest skate parks.

The existing infrastructure will be upgraded starting in 2025.
