Jack and Jean Leslie RiverWalk

The Jack and Jean Leslie RiverWalk (also known simply as RiverWalk) is a 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) section of the Bow River pathway between the Centre Street Bridge and the 9th Avenue SE Bridge, along the Bow and Elbow rivers in Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Phase III of stage 1 of the project was opened by the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) on September 27, 2012. Upon completion of all three stages of the project, the RiverWalk will stretch four kilometres, from the Centre Street Bridge on the Bow River to Lindsay Park along the Elbow River.^[1] In March 2015, the Jack and Jean Leslie RiverWalk was the recipient of the National Merit Award from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects.^[2] The RiverWalk is part of a larger development of Calgary's East Village as part of that neighbourhood's area redevelopment plan.^[3]
