About Parkhill

Established in 1910

An abundance of park space, including the iconic Stanley Park, and light make this neighbourhood special. We’re just a stone’s throw away from the emerging Barley Belt, close to the 39th Ave C-train station, and the 4th Street shopping and restaurant district. A short bike or scooter ride will also take you to Stampede Park and Calgary’s bustling downtown core.  For our dog owner’s, the Roxboro off-leash park is just a quick walk down the hill.

This is our home and we feel lucky to live here.

Parks

Residents of Parkhill are fortunate to have numerous parks within and directly neighboring our community.

The Iconic Stanley Park

The majority of this 21-hectare public city park is situated within our community, providing convenient access. It offers a variety of amenities, from disc golf to water sports. For further information about this prominent park, visit the City’s website:

Don’t forget to visit the Princess Obolensky Park (technically part of Stanley Park) on top of the ridge overlooking the rest of Stanley Park, the Elbow River valley and the Rocky mountains!

Community Hall Field

Adjacent to our hall in the heart of our community, this park features exclusive Parkhill member-only tennis and pickleball courts, along with a public city playground and soccer field. You have the option to reserve the soccer field through the City (for a fee) or enjoy it freely when it’s not in use.

Roxboro Nature Preserve and Off-leash Area

Discover the hidden ridge path within this park, if you manage to locate it. Follow the path high above Roxboro on the steep ridge and relish breathtaking views of downtown. Below, you’ll find a playground, an off-leash park area and a walk along the river.

33rd Avenue Viewpoint

Stroll over to 33rd Ave to get a magnificent view of the City.  It’s a great spot for watching the nightly fireworks during Stampede and a convenient staircase takes you directly down to Mission Road.
