LOCATION:
"The Rise" at St. Patrick’s Island (accessible from East Village) East Village is linked to St. Patrick’s Island – a revitalized 31-acre backyard for the neighbourhood – by the George C. King Bridge. Restored in a way that gives Calgarians a place to get in touch with nature amongst the concrete of the city, you could call this island a wild oasis. "The Rise" is a grassy knoll, nine metres high, that provides a perfect setting for Rise: Run, Yoga, Meditate.
PARKING:
There are many ways to get to St. Patrick's Island. There will be a small walk or bike ride, no matter where you choose to access the island. The Closest Parking Lot is CPA Calgary Zoo West Lot. You would then walk to the island (5 minutes walk). We will have bike parking on-site.
