Drones under 250 grams
Our Parks and Pathway Bylaw states that you can fly a drone under 250 grams without a permit in community parks and playfields when not in use as long as you comply will all provincial and federal legislation.
1. Be courteous when flying a drone. Currently we are allowed to fly in most parks and open public spaces - let's keep it that way! Unreasonable disturbance to the enjoyment of the park by any other users is considered prohibited.
Where you can fly:
Most open spaces with good sight lines, few people and where wildlife is not present.
Flying drones is not permitted in the following areas:
Prairie Winds Park (due to proximity to airport).
All splash parks, including 30m from the edge or fence. This includes the splash park area in Bowness, West Confederation, Riley, Rotary, South Glenmore, Eau Claire, and Valleyview Parks.
All cemeteries including Queens Park, Union, Burnsland, St Mary’s Pioneer, Chinese, and the new Southeast cemetery.
Any natural area. Larger natural areas include Nose Hill Park, Weaselhead Park, Ralph Klein Park, and Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, but smaller natural areas exist throughout Calgary. Be sure to avoid wildlife including birds, ponds streams and rivers, nesting trees, and tall grass.
Near wetlands, storm ponds, tree stands or tall grass where nesting birds may be present
These regulations may change from time to time, so please make sure to check the City of Calgary and Transport Canada websites for up-to-date information.
