Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is located in Calgary’s northwest. Annexed in 1910, development began in 1912, making Mount Pleasant one of Calgary’s older communities. Confederation Park runs through the northwest portion of the community, offering access to recreational opportunities. The area also offers convenient access to downtown, which is only 4 km. away, via 10th Street. There are both public and separate schools in the area.
The community association building, the Sportsplex and the community swimming pool are all located in the same area, forming a triangle around a popular playground. The Sportsplex offers figure skating, minor and adult hockey, pleasure skating, and floor hockey. The community centre is used by a parent and tot playgroup, a before and after school program, the Girl Guides and a senior’s square dance group. The centre also houses a commercial kitchen for catered events. Mount Pleasant also hosts special events, such as a Stampede breakfast and Day in the Park, which features a live band. Watermelon eating contests, a blow up slide and Crayola activities. The success of last year’s New Year’s party means it will also likely become an annual event.
