Parks & Recreation
Half of the community of Valley Ridge is devoted to the Valley Ridge Golf Club. The club is public and semi-private, and designed to support more than those interested in golfing. Set inside a valley, the club has some of the most incredible views in Calgary. In addition the amenities were recently given a Consumer Reports award for best golf course.

There is a lot of shopping along Crowchild Trail NW, such as the shops, eateries and services at Crowchild Square Plaza and the Northland Village Centre, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Home Depot, Ed Williams Mens Wear and more.
