Community boundaries · City of Calgary

The commercial strip handles most daily needs without requiring much travel — Safeway for groceries, a cluster of restaurants that give the area a distinctly dining-oriented character, and Montgomery Pharmacy and General Store for what's left. 16 Avenue connects west toward Bowness and east toward downtown when you need it.

Down at the river, Shouldice Athletic Park anchors the other end of the daily routine: fields, the arena, the aquatic centre, and an off-leash stretch that fills up predictably on weekday afternoons. The park and the dining strip sit at opposite ends of the neighbourhood, and together they account for most of how people spend time here.
