Hanson Ranch Wetland Improvements - Calgary
Official title: Hanson Ranch Wetland Improvements
Calgary is upgrading the Hanson Ranch Wetland to meet environmental regulations while adding community amenities. The city has already gathered feedback and revised designs based on what residents wanted—including keeping a natural look with native plants and no fencing.
Why This Matters
Live near Hanson Ranch? This wetland is getting a makeover. The city listened to neighbours who wanted trails and benches without losing the natural feel. If you use this green space, the changes will affect your experience.
What Could Change
The wetland will get gravel trails and benches while keeping native vegetation. The original pier lookout, fencing, and bike racks have been removed from the design based on community feedback.
Key Issues
- How should the wetland balance natural aesthetics with community amenities?
- What level of infrastructure (trails, benches, fencing) is appropriate?
