Eau Claire Plaza

Eau Claire Plaza is a vibrant new public space in the heart of Calgary, located along the Bow River Pathway and just steps from the Bow River. Designed as a welcoming urban destination, the plaza invites people to slow down, gather, and enjoy the city’s natural beauty throughout the year. Whether walking or biking along the river, skating on the lagoon, or heading to nearby Prince’s Island Park for a festival or event, Eau Claire Plaza serves as a lively gathering place. Its open design, riverfront setting, and downtown location make it an ideal spot to meet friends, take a break, or watch the city move. In summer, the plaza becomes a playful retreat. A misting water feature encourages visitors of all ages to cool off and interact, while an urban beach offers space to relax or build sandcastles. In winter, the same feature transforms into a dynamic rainbow light show, creating a glowing seasonal landmark that brings warmth and energy to the riverfront.
