These communities lie south of Fish Creek Park, and on the west side of
Macleod Trail. Tn hese communities are new, having been built since 1980.
New office buildings and the extension of the south LRT are expected to
reduce commuting time for residents. The community is rapidly becoming a
shopper's paradise with many big box stores attracted to the 25,000 area
residents in the "young family" demographic. Two low-density
communities are close to the Fish Creek Park: Shawnee is built
around the Shawnee Slopes golf course, while Evergreen Estates is
to the west. Millrise and Shawnessy are higher density
communities with mostly single family homes. Some newer developments to
the south and west (in Somerset/Somerside) are including townhomes and
condos, trading off affordability for a higher density reminiscent of
the Inner City.
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.
Shopping
The west side of Macleod Trail provides a number of "category
killer" big box stores to meet almost every need. The small
Midnapore Mall is across Macleod Trail, 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 to the Bow River pathway system to the east. 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.
