While the area of Westgate contains few green spaces, it is situated just across from Edworthy Park, which is one of the city’s favourite parks. Running along the Bow River, the area provides plenty of trails for cyclist and walkers who want to get out into nature. The nearby Optimist Athletic Park offers a variety of sports field for those who love outdoor recreation. When it comes to retail opportunities, the Westbrook Mall is located at 1200 37th Street and offers many stores and restaurants including Safeway, Walmart, Sport Chek and Boston Pizza.
