Parks & Recreation
Three beautiful parks exist within the borders of the Scenic Acres community, staying true to its name. Many communities in Calgary don't have even one park within them, so this neighborhood stands out. Scurfield Park features two softball fields and one baseball field; Scenic Acres Park features two tennis courts and one baseball field; and Scenic Cove Park simple features attractive green space. One great place to shop just outside the community is the Crowfoot Co-Op Shopping Centre. It has over 50 stores, restaurants and service providers to choose from.
