The Pearce Estate Wetland is a city park located in Calgary, Alberta. The park occupies 21 hectares (52 acres, 0.21 km²) along the Bow River to the east of downtown Calgary. It is described as "constructed wetlands filled with native plants and animals". The land was donated to the city around 1929 by then prominent Calgarian William Pearce.^[1]
