Bowness
Living in Bowness
Bowness is a riverside community in northwest Calgary, wrapped by the Bow River on its north and east sides. It was named after Bowness-on-Windermere in England's Lake District, and it was a village and then a town before joining Calgary in 1964.
Bowness has a strong small-town feel, with a main street along Bowness Road, Bowness Park and its lagoon for picnics, boating and winter skating, and the Bow River pathway. Its west-end location gives quick access to the mountains via 16 Avenue and Stoney Trail.
