Another reason Silver Springs real estate is so popular is the nearby neighbourhood skating rinks and outdoor swimming pools. There is an outdoor swimming pool right beside Silver Springs Boulevard, and the area also has wide open park land spaces. They connect to the Bow River recreational pathways for jogging and biking and those pathways lead to Bowness Park as well as the downtown area. Bowness Park offers pretty lagoons used for ice skating in the winter and for paddle boating during the summer months.

Silver Springs residents have the ability to enjoy the Bowmont Natural Area, commonly referred to as The Ravine, which covers the entirety of the southern part of the community. This natural environment provides more than just an amazing view for the homes in the neighbourhood; it allows residents the chance to get outdoors and into the wilderness in the middle of one of Canada’s biggest cities. They can enjoy the many hiking and walking paths that take them along the water and towards Silver Springs Golf Club, the popular local golf course and country club that makes a scenic round of golf a real possibility for Silver Springs home owners.

Silver Springs is just a stone’s throw from the Crowfoot Crossing shopping complex, anchored by Safeway, Co-op, Rona and Cineplex theatres.
