Tips For Staying Near Canada Olympic Park
Location
Canada Olympic Park, 15 minutes outside of downtown Calgary by car, was created for the winter Olympics in 1988 and continues to be used as a winter sport facility for skiers and snowboarders under the operation of WinSport, the Winter Sports Institute. During the summer months, the park continues operations for campers and features zip-lines and facilities for mountain bikers.
The hill and trail hours of operation are from 9 am to 9 pm throughout the winter months. More information on hours of other facilities available at the park are available on their website.
Downhill passes are available on a 4-hour or full-day basis. The 4-hour adult passes are $40 for the ski area, and $45 for a full-day pass. Family passes are also available and parent foot passes can be issued for $5 when accompanying children. More information on passes and online purchases can be found on their website.
Getting Around
The hill itself is divided into three sections: downhill, cross-country and terrain. The terrain section is complete with moguls and a halfpipe modelled after the specifications for the Sochi Olympics. The Frank King Day Lodge at the bottom of the hill comes complete with rental facilities and shops and a food court and the adjacent building houses the Winsport Academy training offices and facilities. The Markin McPhail Centre and arenas is also located at the bottom of the hill and Canada's Olympic Sport Hall of Fame can be found across the street.
To get an idea of the layout of the hill and to see what's available for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers, visit their website. A number of maps can also be found for summer layouts, as well as building floor plans.
Downtown Calgary is a 15-minute drive away, while the University of Calgary is 10 minutes by car. The Calgary International Airport (YYC) is a 25-minute drive from the park.
Public transit, operated by Calgary Transit, serves the park via bus route #408, but many of the below-mentioned hotels require transferring buses and travel times of over 40 minutes. Single-ride adult fares are $3 and an unlimited-use day pass can be purchased for $9. More fare and route information can be found on their website.
Parking
Free parking is available at the park, whether you're parking in the Frank King Day Lodge lot or visiting the training centres or Olympic Sport Hall of Fame. A parking map is available on the website.
Dining
Visitors to the Olympic Park will find a number of dining options available, from the licensed restaurant in the Day Lodge to the Day Lodge Food Court and the Garden Cafe in the Martin McPhail Centre.
