Barb Scott Park is an urban park located in downtown Calgary. The park was named in honor of Barb Scott, a Calgary Alderman who served on council for 24 years.[1] The park is located on the same block as the Calgary Board of Education headquarters, the Dr Carl Safran Centre.

Features

The park features a small greenspace with garden beds and a seating area.[2] The focal point of the park is the Chinook Arc, an interactive illuminated sculpture created by artists Joe O'Connell and Blessing Hancock.[3][4] During the winter the park contains a temporary skating rink.
