Fish Creek Provincial Park: One of North America's Largest Urban Parks, Right Next Door
One of this community's key assets is its proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America. The park forms the entire southern boundary of Canyon Meadows, which means residents on the community's southern streets have park access that is literally steps from their back fences. For those further north within the community, the park is still a short walk or cycle away via the neighbourhood's extensive pathway connections.
Fish Creek Park has a large number of activities available to enjoy. Visitors can hike, bike, swim, picnic, fire pits, and even bird watch for rare species throughout the year.
Lake Sikome within Fish Creek, one of the few natural swimming lakes within city limits, provides a beach and swimming experience during summer months that residents of most Calgary communities have to drive significantly farther to access.
The park's pathway system connects south toward Chaparral and north through the Bow River corridor, providing virtually limitless off-street cycling and walking for residents who choose to use it. And right past Annie's where you can stop for an ice-cream treat.
The estate homes along the community's southern edge, many of which back directly onto the park, are among the most sought-after properties in all of SW Calgary, offering privacy, natural views, and a morning wildlife sighting from the kitchen window that most urban homeowners can only dream about.
Beautiful and Accessible all year round with the paved pathway system being plowed all winter.
