The Stormwater Overflow Pond is part of Calgary’s comprehensive drainage infrastructure and serves a key role in flood prevention and water quality control. While utilitarian in purpose, many of these overflow ponds are designed to include walking paths, interpretive signage, and habitat features that invite informal recreation and education. Surrounded by reeds and marsh-like vegetation, the area attracts waterfowl and enhances the neighbourhood’s connection to nature. It’s a good example of how Calgary integrates function and livability in its urban design.
