What the gardens use to look like.
Devonian Gardens opened in 1977, it was a state-of-the-art facility that
attracted international attention. Thirty-four years later, much of the
infrastructure had exceeded its 30-year lifecycle, and The City of Calgary Parks
is rejuvenating this key downtown attraction.
Devonian Gardens will be reopening to the public on Wednesday, June 27, 2012. After a four year closure and complete renovation, the new Gardens will once again be a favourite destination for lunch crowds, tourists, families, and corporate and private events.
