Bridlewood Pond
Bridlewood Wetland, or colloquially known as Bridlewood Pond by locals, is a stormwater drainage pond located in Bridlewood, Calgary. Common types of plant life found in the area include aquatic cattails and bulrushes.[1] "The wetlands are home to several species of dabbling waterfowl including the usual Mallards and Blue-winged Teal but also Canvasbacks, Northern Pintails and Ruddy Ducks. Red-winged Blackbirds and the much less common Yellow-headed Blackbird are also found regularly in the wetland." Bridlewood Pond features a wooden bridge spanning the length of the wetland, from James McKevitt Rd to the other end, near the path. A "dock" or viewing platform has been erected near the SW end of the pond, perfect for sitting with ducks and enjoying serene peace. A glacial erratic is also included nearby, with an inscription telling its history. [2]
