There is an ~8K elongated oval trail along the parkway between Churchill Drive and the Red River that is tracked for classic skiing. A smaller part is packed for skate skiing. The trail begins at the pumphouse behind the Churchill Drive / Jubilee Avenue / Cockburn Street South intersection, which is ~1block east of the famous BDI (and the Elm Park Bridge). The trail continues along the parkway until it makes a large loop around the community gardens behind the Riverview Health Centre, and then heads back to the trailhead, also along the parkway. Some areas are well-treed while some is open. The trail loop can be accessed anywhere along Churchhill Drive.
These trails are groomed by volunteers. Donations can be made to the Riverview Community Centre.

Riverview / Churchill Drive Parkway 2 days, 23 hours agoI heard this was groomed around the 13th. Today trails were skied in, a few places were blown in by all the wind, but overall a fun ski. Worth the trip.

Riverview / Churchill Drive Parkway 2 weeks, 1 day agoSkiied the trails this morning and they were in great shape! Very recently groomed and minimal people tracks. It was my first time there, what a gem right here in the city! Thanks to all the groomers and volunteers.
