Southwest Recreation

West Springs and Area Recreation

Located in southwest Calgary, West Springs is home to some of the most sought-after indoor and outdoor recreational activities and facilities in the city. With the community being situated in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, which feature extensive wooded areas and open spaces, outdoor opportunities across all seasons abound. And due to the fact West Springs is one of the newest communities in Calgary, state-of-the-art indoor recreational facilities have recently opened up their doors or are near to doing so.
