It will function as the community's commercial hub, making running errands and receiving the services you want a breeze. Arts and culture activities will give residents more recreational opportunities and further enhance the character of the community.

Shawnessy Towne Centre has 250 stores, restaurants and various businesses, including Walmart, Home Depot, Safeway, Superstore and the Cardel Rec Center.

Parks —
A community served by quality parks benefits in many ways. Parks encourage a healthy lifestyle and provide a space for entertainment. They serve as clean and safe communal spaces for building and strengthening connections. Park playgrounds promote inclusivity and help kids work on their communication and socialization skills. In addition, they encourage better environmental awareness.
Fortunately, Alpine Park residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to green spaces for recreation. Fish Creek Provincial Park is located close to the area. The second-largest urban park in Canada has over 100 kilometres of paved, dirt and trail paths for walking, cycling and jogging, and turns into a snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing destination in the winter.
At Shannon Terrace in Fish Creek Park, residents can enjoy beautiful hiking trails, wildlife views and large spruce trees. The site has picnic tables and firepits.
Alpine Park is served by multiple purpose-designed parks. Pet owners can head to the off-leash dog park across Alpine Avenue SW. Central Park offers a large, lush lawn, ornamental plantings, a lookout, a family playground and a climbing hill.
Storm Park is a unique park concept based on the award-winning Dale Hodges Park that collects stormwater from upland residential communities into a large Nautilus Pond, where it makes its way to marshes, meadows and streams before being released, fully treated, into the Bow River. It offers trails, public plazas, boardwalks and viewpoint lookouts.
Skyline Pond is a picturesque, relaxing area for residents to enjoy. It is designed to resemble a tarn, a small mountain lake that forms in a hollow scooped out by a glacier. Skyline Pond offers scenic views of the City's downtown core and mountains to the west.
Canopy Park is envisioned as a ridgeline park and features a trail that brings visitors above the treeline and drops off into a playground nestled amongst a forest. There's a large public venue space for winter tobogganing, and pavilions that serve as a gathering place for residents to meet up and hold barbeque parties.
Midway Park is thoughtfully arranged to reduce neighbourhood traffic off Stoney Trail while making it easier for residents to get around on foot. It is yet another communal space for residents to unwind, get fresh air, bicycle and for the kids to run around or play Frisbee.
Do the kids like bicycling or other bicycle-friendly activities? The Community Association Site has a multi-use sports court where residents can enjoy winter skating, and BMX riding at the 7 km-radius Pump Track.
Kananaskis Country, Alberta's mountain playground, is 30-minutes away. The multi-use recreational area in the foothills and front ranges of the Rockies is home to parks, campgrounds and an ecological reserve. Head off to the mountains for adventures or winding down. Popular activities here include alpine and Nordic skiing, hiking, dog sledding, snowshoeing, mountain biking and fishing.

Housing
Alpine Park has been conceived with new urbanist principles of walkable streets, shopping in close proximity and accessible public spaces. It already has a wonderful canvas to begin with - Calgary's incredible natural beauty and history.
The community's homes lend to its diverse and vibrant surroundings owing to their mix of distinctive architectures. The residences are constructed in styles ranging from modern Contemporary, scenic mountain and Prairie to historic Craftsman, Farmhouse and Chateauesque styles. Rather than driveways and garages defining the frontage of homes, porches usher sunlight indoors, invite kids and family to spend time in the front yard, and make it convenient to exchange pleasantries with neighbours.
There is no denying that the community design has placed the human element at its core, bringing people together, while ensuring the connectivity of a city and respecting the natural surroundings.
