Central Park is very european-esque. It's completely different then Fish Creek. They bare no resemblence what so ever besides the fact that they have trees.

Central Park has a lot of densely "green" areas but nothing that anyone would call a forest. It's completely maintained, there are tons of ameneties and attractions and it's a lot busier. The west side of Fish creek on the other hand is literally a full blown forest (complete with wildlife) with a few paved pathways and bbq pits. Fish creek is also a lot bigger (like +3 times bigger) if you include the entire east side to Sicome Lake. You can actually find some really nice, natural and challenging cross country biking/hiking trails that are off the beaten path in Fish Creek. Like someone said, it's basically an extension of the rockies.

Not saying one is better then the other but it's truely an apples and oranges comparison.
