In 1906, farmer James Shouldice purchased the land that would become Montgomery, and in 1910 donated 100 acres along the Bow River to Calgary for public park space, which became Shouldice Park. The community grew and came to be known as Shouldice Terrace, and in 1943 the name was changed to "Montgomery" after Bernard Law Montgomery, a celebrated Great Britain military leader. The area was annexed by Calgary in 1963, and now Shouldice Park is a major athletic and family park surrounding the Shouldice Aquatic Centre and Arena.
Known by locals as "The Cliffs", Bowmont Natural Environment Park is one of the largest parks in Calgary.
