Welcome to Parkland

A neighbourhood that is, on two full sides, wrapped by one of Canada's largest urban nature preserves. There is a 20-metre-wide strip of open space maintained along the top of Fish Creek Park for public access, and Parkland offers panoramic views of ancient trees, meadows and the river.

For residents, this means the trails, wetlands, forests, and riverside pathways of Fish Creek are accessible on foot from virtually every street in the neighbourhood. Whether it's an early morning run along the bluffs, a weekend bike ride with the kids, or an evening walk with the dog as the sun sets over the valley, Fish Creek is simply part of daily life in Parkland in a way that few other Calgary communities can claim. Parkland residents are actively engaged in preserving the park and its wildlife, participating in the annual river cleanup and working closely with the Friends of Fish Creek Park. 

And in summer, the beach at Sikome Lake within Fish Creek Park welcomes everyone wanting to enjoy sunbathing and swimming, one of those distinctly Calgary experiences that residents of most other communities have to drive considerably further to access.

The community predominantly features single-family homes on spacious lots, many of which have been updated to include modern amenities while retaining their classic charm. The majority of homes were built in the 1970s and carry the hallmarks of that era, larger lot sizes, mature landscaping, finished basements, and generous room proportions that newer homes often sacrifice in favour of open-plan layouts. Many have been substantially renovated over the years, offering modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and contemporary finishes while maintaining the solid construction and spacious feel that makes 1970s homes so enduringly popular.

At the upper end, homes backing onto Fish Creek Park sit on the escarpment with stunning views over the valley, properties that rarely come to market and command strong prices when they do. For buyers seeking a detached home with a real yard, mature trees, and a neighbourhood that feels unhurried and settled, Parkland delivers in a way that few communities at any price point can match.

The closest shops are at Deer Valley Shopping Centre (everything from groceries, coffee to fitness), with quick access to a wider range of shops and restaurants via Macleod Trail and Deerfoot Trail. Southcentre Mall, one of Calgary's premier shopping destinations, is a short drive to the north, and the growing retail corridor along the south Macleod Trail corridor adds convenience for everyday errands.

A summer walk or bike ride down the hill to Annie's cafe for an ice-cream cone has been a favorite family tradition for years!

Rockyview General Hospital, one of Calgary's major healthcare facilities, is located within a short drive, offering comprehensive medical services including emergency care and specialized treatments.

For commuters, Parkland is exceptionally well-connected. There are five C-Train stations within three kilometers of Parkland, and several bus routes run through the community. For drivers, downtown Calgary can be accessed via Bow Bottom Trail to Deerfoot, Canyon Meadows Drive, and Macleod Trail, multiple options that provide flexibility during peak commute hours.
