Shawnee lies south of Fish
Creek Park, and on the west side of Macleod Trail. Building started in
these communities in about 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.
Schools
So far on elementary schools. 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.
