Situated in the southwest corner of Calgary, the community of Somerset was established in 1995. Along with the neighbouring community of Bridlewood, Somerset was designed to offer plenty of open space for linear parks and community recreation areas. Today, the community is bordered to the north by 162 Avenue, to the south by Marquis of Lorne Trail, to the east by Macleod Trail and to the west by Sacree Trail Extension. In addition, the community features a number of pathways as well as easy access to major transportation routes, including Macleod Trail and Marquis of Lorne Trail.
While the Somerset and Bridlewood community association does not currently have a community centre, it still manages to provide residents with a number of activities. The historic Shawnessey Barn, for example, is regularly used for community dances. The community also features baseball diamonds and a waterpark. Furthermore, the nearby Spruce Meadows and Midnapore both allow the Somerset community to utilize its facilities. At Midnapore, residents can access the South Fish Creek recreation center, which offers a number of recreational opportunities.
