Calgarians have access to a wide variety of recreational facilities: parks, sport facilities, community centres, recreational learning classes, and cultural centres. Many people go to city or community parks to enjoy outdoor activities such as running, cycling on bicycle paths, children's activities in playgrounds, musical concerts, picnics, swimming, team sports, and community events. Many of parks are open year round and Calgarians enjoy cross-country skiing, ice skating and tobogganing in the winter.
The Globe and Mail and the National Post are Canada's national newspapers. Local Calgary newspapers are the Calgary Herald and the Calgary Sun. Upcoming community events and cultural activities are reported daily in the Entertainment section of both papers.
