These communities lie in a bend of the
Bow Rive, just north of where it is joined by Fish Creek. Surrounded by
park on three sides, outdoor recreation is the prime reason for living
here. Access to the Deerfoot Trail from the community (via Bow Bottom
Trail) makes downtown and the city's airport quickly accessible.
Queensland lies on a hill overlooking the Bow River and is mostly
single-family homes and some town homes dating back to the late 1970s.
Deer Ridge is further south, atop the hill, and Deer Run is on the
southeast-facing slope and juts into the Bow River portion of Fish Creek
Park. Parkland is named for its location beside Fish Creek Provincial
Park, and has a 20 metre wide strip along the escarpment bordering the
park ensuring full public access.
Schools
These communities are new and can provide only elementary schools for
both boards. High School students must commute to schools north of Fish
Creek, though a major High School facility is in the planning stages for
the area. The LRT makes the University of Calgary, SAIT and ACAD very
accessible.
Shopping
The small Deer Valley Mall provides most shopping amenities, and Macleod
Trail provides a number of "category killer" big box stores to
meet almost every need. The upscale Avenida mall is just north of Fish
Creek, and Southcentre, the largest mall in the area is just north of
Anderson Rd.
Recreation
Most of the recreation is around Fish Creek Park, with its recreational
pathways that link tot he Bow River pathway system to the east. The
community is very accessible to Lake Sikome (via Bow Bottom Trail), an
artificial summertime swimming lake on the south side of Fish Creek
Park. There is an indoor pool in Canyon Meadows, and two wave pools, the
Southland Leisure Centre to the north, and the Family Leisure Centre to
the east. Shawnee Slopes golf course is in the middle of the community.
The Famous Players Coliseum movie theatres are right on Macleod Trail.
