After being annexed to the city of Calgary in 1961, the community of Parkland was finally developed 13 years later in 1974. Situated adjacent to Fish Creek Provincial Park, the aptly-named Parkland community is bound to the north by Canyon Meadows Drive, to the south by Fish Creek Provincial Park, to the east by Bow Bottom Trail and to the west by Fish Creek Provincial Park. In addition to enjoying easy access to the nearby Fish Creek Provincial Park, the community also features a 20 meter wide strip of open space that provides public access to the park. The Downtown Calgary area may also be easily reached via Macleod Trail, Bow Bottom Trail and Canyon Meadows Drive.
Thanks to the location of the Parkland community, residents enjoy panoramic views of the river, the meadows and ancient trees. Residents may also access a variety of facilities at the community centre, which is capable of holding up to 90 people within its main hall. The community centre also features a standard kitchen, meeting rooms and a gym. Residents of the Parkland community enjoy several opportunities to participate in community events and activities throughout the year. Some of these include an annual Halloween party, a Winter Festival, parades, Brownies, Karate classes and community-wide garage sales.
