Bring along some pine nuts or bird seed and you can get birds to eat right out of your hand! Elgin Park, located in the city’s northwest is another beautiful park that has plenty to offer, including a spray park and a skating pad. There are lots of neighbourhood • Caribou Heights: 1500 block Caribou St W parks found throughout the city. These parks contain playground equipment, while some also feature a skating rink in the winter. Please note that some parks, like Crescent Park and Elgin Park, do not allow dogs.
