Canada Olympic Park

A lasting memento of Calgary's role as host of the 1988 Winter Olympics

 

It is currently used both for high performance athletic training and for recreational purposes by the general public. During the 1988 Winter Olympics, Canada Olympic Park was the primary venue for ski jumping, bobsleigh, and luge. In the summer, COP is used for mountain biking

 

Thanks to a $4 million expansion to the hill at COP (including the addition of a second high-speed quad chair lift and 100 vertical feet to hill), the city of Calgary is on the verge of becoming the only Canadian technical ski stop on the World Cup alpine circuit.
