Default Best place to view fireworks?

Hey all,

I'm looking to take my young daughter to view the fireworks tonight. Can anyone suggest a place with a decent view that will allow me to get out fairly quickly after they are done? Hoping for somewhere I can park, unfold a couple chairs and watch.

Thanks!

Had a pretty good view at Eau Claire last year, if you don't mind the people. As far as hills and roads, maybe somewhere near center street N? Perhaps someone else can help me here.

Seaman stadium in Okotoks. They will be setting off fireworks after the game.

Are they launching them from the top of the Municipal building this year?

Off the centre street bridge.

How difficult would it be to park around eau Claire market area and have a good sightline from around there?

You should be parked and in a pub eating dinner now. Otherwise transit or a cab. Sight lines should be pretty good from east end of the island.

I had a good view (though not perfect) last year as I mentioned, but your daughter might have a hard time. If she's young enough you could just put her on your shoulders though.

I wonder about the pedestrian overpass on the east side of the island too. Not the new freedom one, but the old one. Might be good.

I can watch them from my front window. I get fireworks on my birthday every year.

The Dawgs set an attendance record with 4,769 fans at the game tonight.
