Im just thinking of ideas. Please start sharing a few idea.....or do you have any at all?

I've got an idea! How about not fixing the water problems in the downtown condo towers and just leave the underground parkades flooded. Bring in some sand and maybe a wave machine and you're done!
Regarding Riise's examples, some of those are interesting. From my perspective, however, the better ones are really not urban at all. The urban ones, to my eyes, look a little awkward. Personally I find the beach as Calgary's very own Sikome Lake quite decent.

Of course, there are numerous community beaches throughout Calgary, such as the one in the Mayor's area:

Anyway, I'm not sure why KW and others keep on talking about beaches here in the Poppy Plaza thread. Probably more appropriate in the urban vs suburban thread - an amenity that does not exist in the core that they'd really like to have (like a superstore home depot or costco).
