Beddington Calgary Community and Real Estate Info

Beddington Heights community is located in Calgary’s northwest and is one of Calgary’s largest communities with a population of over 12500. It was originally a Canadian Pacific Railway Station named after the Town of Beddington in Surrey, England. The area was annexed by the city in 1975. The community sports two shopping centres, both located along Centre Street. The community has easy access to Nose Hill park, which is located directly to the West. Both a separate and a public school are located within the community. To meet the needs of its high population, Beddington Heights has a large and active community centre. The centre contains a large preschool, a banquet hall, a gym and an after school centre. Outdoors, the centre is adjacent to a large field, and contains an ice rink (which becomes a skateboard park in the summer), offering plenty of recreational opportunities to the community’s residents. The community centre offers a large number of courses and programs, including soccer, volleyball, martial arts, dance, darts, yoga and fencing programs. The centre also houses the community Blockwatch association. To help finance these programs, the centre hosts over 40 bingos each year. The community is also involved with future projects of relevance to residents, and is currently heavily involved with the planning of the Nose Creek Sports and Recreational Centre.
