Cowboys Park, formerly Shaw Millennium Park,[1] is a skatepark in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on the western end of downtown Calgary, on the site of the former Mewata Stadium adjacent to Mewata Armouries.

The 75000square feet skatepark was built in 2000, and was the largest park of its kind in Canada. The park is sponsored by Shaw Communications. The skatepark is maintained by the City of Calgary Recreation Department.[2]

It consists of a street course with ledges, flatbars, stairs and transitions, an intermediate course with rails down stairs and banks, and an advanced course with cloverleaf bowl, street course and a large fullpipe.

In July 2024, the park rebranded to Cowboys Park through a 10-year sponsorship agreement with Cowboy’s Dancehall.

The facility is also used to host events such as the Calgary International Reggae Festival.
