Parks & Recreation
Silverado truly puts nature first, with a lake located on its east side. Around this lake is a band of green space, and out from it to the north and the south extends belts of greenery for a truly unique composition, compared to other Calgary communities. When residents want something more out of nature, they can head to the McKenzie Meadows Golf Club of the Fish Creek Provincial Park to the east, both comprising huge areas of greenery surrounding the Elbow River. And when it's time to shop the Shawnessy Shopping Centre is just north, offering everything one could want or need.
