The City of Calgary announced on Oct. 7 the opening of Rocky Ridge Athletic Park, a $26-million investment located next to the Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge in the city's northwest. The park features two multi-use artificial turf fields, along with washrooms, parking, spectator seating and field lighting that extends playable hours.
“Recreation spaces help build healthy communities and create opportunities for Calgarians to connect through sport,” said Mayor Jeromy Farkas. “Rocky Ridge Athletic Park is an investment in Calgary’s growing northwest and in the public recreation system our city needs for the future.”
