Mitford Park

Mitford Park in Cochrane offers riverside green space with sports facilities, trails, and ponds for relaxed family time in every season. Parallel to the Bow River, this park features two baseball diamonds, a covered stage, an adjoining soccer and rugby pitch, and paved paths for walking or biking. Families can spread out at picnic tables and benches set among scenic views, or let kids burn off energy at the adjoining skateboard park. Mitford Park also hosts community gatherings like Summer and Winter Festivals, the annual Canada Day Festival, and several summer concerts. Two ponds add to the setting; the upper pond is maintained for skating and shinny in winter, and both are stocked annually with rainbow trout for fishing, though swimming is not allowed. Visitors often bring a camera to capture Alberta sunsets and quiet moments in nature.
