Royal Oak
Royal Oak is located in Calgary’s extreme northwest. The community landscape preserves the wetlands, woods and a ridge that overlooks the Rocky Mountains. Environmentally sensitive wet ponds have been placed among houses and pathways. The Royal Oak ravine has been preserved and some of the wetlands have been concerted to stormwater facilities. There is also plenty of green space, an environmental reserve and a pathway system winds through the community and connects with the city’s pathway network.
The community also targets the needs of local families by providing tot lots, parks, a wading pool, and tennis courts. The community association does not yet have its own building, but often rents a developer supported and run community hall. The lack of a building has not prevented the association from being extremely active in the community however. The association runs a moms and tots program, and facilitates Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and dance classes. Outdoor sports and dance classes are also offered. The community association also acts as an advocate for residents.
