Discover Parkdale
About the Community
Parkdale is one of Calgary’s most sought-after inner-city neighborhoods, set along the Bow River and just minutes from downtown. Riverfront pathways, city parks, and quick access to the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, and Alberta Children’s Hospital make daily life convenient. Nearby cafés, Kensington Village, and Market Mall keep dining and retail close.
The community is friendly and tight-knit, with long-time residents, young professionals, and families. The Parkdale Community Centre anchors neighborhood life, and its newly renovated outdoor skating rink draws neighbors together year-round. Strong transit, major road access, and an active community association blend modern amenities with timeless charm, making it easy to reach and easy to call home.
