Get answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Waterfront Park in Calgary.

Where are you located?

Waterfront Park is located in the NE quadrant of the city on the other side of Stoney Trail from Bowness Park. (5225 101 St NW, Calgary, AB T3L 1S4)

Is there parking available?

Yes. Waterfront Park has a spacious 200 car parking lot with free parking.

Is Waterfront Park a community hall?

Waterfront Park is a unique spot. We are a private venue owned by the Al Azhar Shriners, a charitable fraternity focused on children’s hospitals. We consider ourselves a full-service venue. This means all catering, beverage, service staff and floral work is managed by the venue. We have a team of coordinators ready to help you put on a memorable event and by keeping most of our services in house this allows us maximum quality control.

Can I bring my own food and beverage?

All food and beverage services at Waterfront Park are handled exclusively by Simply Elegant Catering. If you require special food items our Catering Coordinators would be happy to customize some options.

Can I bring my own décor and set up in advance?

Yes, you can bring your own DIY décor. However due to the nature of the venue our event staff manages all set up and tear down of décor and florals. Typically, access to the venue starts two hours prior to guest arrival.

Is there a possibility of multiple events happening at once?

Waterfront Park is a collection of venues within the same property. We have the capacity to run multiple events at a time, in the same way a hotel does. Each room is equipped with its own washrooms, kitchen, bar, and service staff so the only cross over you get is the parking lot.

How much does venue rental cost?
