Established in 1982, the community of Riverbend is bound to the north by Glenmore Trail, to the south by Douglas Glen Community Association, to the east by 24 Street and to the west by the Bow River. Aptly named due to its location near the bend of the Bow River, the Riverbend community provides its residents with easy access to a variety of recreational opportunities. Featuring three distinct landscapes, including escarpment, floodplain and upland plain, the community provides residents with excellent vies of the Rockies as well as the wooded flood plains. At the same time, the community is located near to several of the city's major roadways, including Deerfoot Trail, Glenmore Trail and Barlow Trail. As such, Riverbend residents are within only a short distance from all of the amenities the Downtown Calgary area has to offer.
Closer to home, residents of Riverbend are served by an active community association that offers something for people of all ages. Programs offered through the centre include a Jazzer Tots program, martial arts, dance, Jazzercise, group fitness, Tae Bo, yoga, aerobics and strength training classes. A variety of activities also take place in the community, including Youth Justice, first aid, Toastmasters, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. Recreational facilities available to residents include a skateboard park, an outdoor skating rink and sports fields.
