The Callingwood Treestand has several formal trails through the interior and is separated in the middle by a relatively wide grassy area. This treestand is designated as a dogs-off-leash area.
This remnant of primarily deciduous trees is located beside the West Jasper Place Recreation Centre and sports fields.

Getting Here
Callingwood Treestand is located in west Edmonton, west of 172 Street and north of 69 Avenue. It is situated in the southeast corner of Callingwood Park, and near the North Saskatchewan River Valley. There is a parking lot located on the east side of the treestand, and it is easily accessed by foot from the north and west, where it is open to the park. A wide trail bisects the treestand from the southwest to northeast corners and connects with smaller trails into the natural area. There is a small clearing in the southern portion of the stand.
What You Might See or Hear
Given its relative isolation within a residential area, Callingwood Treestand is unlikely to support large mammals. However, small mammals and a variety of birds may be spotted, so keep your eyes peeled.
