Established in 1954, the community of Thorncliffe is bound to the north by 64 Avenue, to the south by McKnight Boulebard, to the east by Deerfoot Trail and to the west by 14 Street and the east alley of Norfolk Way. Thanks to its location at the easterly base of Nose Hill Park and to the south of the community of Huntington Hills, the community of Thorncliffe provides residents with ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
Served by the Thorncliffe-Greenview Community Association, the residents of Thorncliffe have a wide variety of activities to select from throughout the year. Groups that make use of the community centre, which can hold up to 800 people within its main hall, include Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Tai Chi, Fitness and Parents and Tots. Special activities that are hosted by the community centre include craft fairs, bingo nights, dances, and wine and cheese gatherings. The community association also provides residents with access to a number of recreational facilities, including a 4-lane bowling alley, a baseball diamond, a hockey rink, a tobogganing hill and a playground.
