Explore Calgary’s Beltline on a 5.5 km self-guided smartphone walk from Memorial Park Library to the Stampede district. Discover 24 narrated points of interest, including Central Memorial Park, Chinook Arc, Lougheed House, St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Saddledome. Allow about 2–3 hours at your own pace. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach each story, while a live route map shows your location and next stop. Download on Wi-Fi for offline use, then pause, detour and resume whenever you like. There is no in-person guide. The route is mainly outdoors, with exterior views of historic buildings and venues; admission and interior access are separate. The former Stampede Corral is a heritage story at its redeveloped site. Stampede Park access can change during ticketed events, but the public approach remains part of the walk. Construction near Stampede Park may affect pedestrian routes.
