It’s a great place for families to spend a day since the picnic area is shaded and has more than enough tables for communal meals and snacks. You don’t even need to bring your own food because you can always just buy food here.

Aside from the excellent swimming facilities, Highwood also enjoy a skating rink and various athletic fields at the community centre. As well, there is a pre-school program called Highwood Playschool for parents with youngsters. With a lot of activities to keep you busy, fantastic parks such as nearby Nose Hill Park and Confederation Park, and the famous Calgary Winter Club, this is a great neighbourhood for people on the go that enjoy an active lifestyle.
