Nature in the city

SOUTHWEST CALGARY’S LARGEST NEW DEVELOPMENT BORDERING FISH CREEK PARK.

Nature in the city. A variety of aesthetic and geo-graphical aspects come together to make Shawnee Park an absolutely stunning neighbourhood. However, what makes this community truly unique is its history. Shawnee Park is one of the first infill projects to be implemented in Calgary, allowing for a progressive urban develop-ment that encompasses the new while embracing the old.

The start of this remarkable, mas-ter-planned community began with the curation of southwest Calgary’s largest new development bordering Fish Creek Park. Unlike most new developments, Shawnee Parkis already surrounded by a well- established part of the city, which means, rather than waiting for your favourite coffee shop to arrive or transit to be built, everything is already right there.

In addition to the convenience of Shawnee Park’s urban access, this vibrant neighbourhood offers an escape from the city and the oppor-tunity to connect with nature. This burgeoning neighbourhood backs onto the largest urban park in North America, Fish Creek Park. Boasting 3,000 acres of backyard terrain for lucky residents to explore, Shawnee Park’s seemingly endless natural surrounding gives the illusion of being miles away from the busy city while existing in the heart of Calgary’s thriving southwest.

Take a bike ride to Sikome lake or have a summer picnic at Raven Rocks. Hit the trails for fall hiking or take your dog for a run. Strap on some snowshoes or cross-country skis and enjoy the winter snow. With Fish Creek as your backyard, the possibilities for year-round outdoor playtime are many and all within reach.
