It's similar in that you feel like you've left the city. Which is easy to do in Fish Creek when you are adjacent to Parkland and other suburb communities. Much harder when you are adjacent to Columbus Circle, the red line subway and the Plaza.
It doesn't feel like you are in the rockies but its very diverse. Some parts are quite dense with trees and other parks have ball fields or a skating rink.
There are a few urban parks in the US that are incredibly impressive to me in a way that Calgary has never even thought of. The park with the amphitheater in downtown Chicago and boston common come to mind.
If you are looking to feel like you are in the mountains there's that park in North Phx with all the hiking trails ... I'll dig up its name later when i have the time.
