Wildwood - SW Calgary Real Estate
Transit
Bus route 93 was recently redirected to serve the Wildwood area; the route winds around Spruce Drive SW towards Bow Trail SW, at the intersection of which is the only stop located near the community, as well as an LRT station.
Parks & Recreation
The obvious highlight of Wildwood is the inclusion of Edworthy Park within its borders. While other communities simply border this great park, Wildwood literally has it as its backyard. This is a huge reason why the home prices don't dip below $1.5M.
What does Edworthy have to offer? First of all, it's on the Bow River, but like a lot of parks on the Bow River it's also got an extensive array of features -- many parks are simply beautiful green spaces lacking development. The area of the park is 169 hectares, complete with a playground, public washroom (seasonal), off-leash areas, benches, picnic tables, fire pits and BBQ stands, a gazebo, pathways, picnic shelters, picnic sites, all in operation since the space was purchased by the city of Calgary in 1962.
Furthermore, the Lawrey Gardens and Douglas Fir Trail are located within Edworthy Park. Residents of Wildwood can take a short walk and enjoy the wildlife and plant life of the former -- the round-leaved orchid, small wood anemone, warbles, catbirds, Canada Geese, ring-billed gulls -- or marvel in the majesty of dense douglas fir trees, lookout points, and extensive dirt/gravel trails of the latter.

Description
"I hid in the wildwood, I found sancturay there, the world turned, the wind blew, falling leaves buried my fear, and the seasons passed. The trees were like lovers, growing slowly, and stolid as the rocks, changing little with time, they returned to the earth, at the end of the cycle. The woodland was the silence, before pain and grief intruded, a place where water flowed, where no voice cried out, a place without doubt, a place without betrayal." -- a poem by BARRY MIDDLETON. ******** Sew your heart on your sleeve and run to this SPECIAL, ONCE IN A LIFETIME location on WILDWOOD DRIVE (LOT SIZE 7545 ft2)--facing a large treed park and the RIDGE which overlooks Edworthy Park and the trailhead to the DOUGLAS FIR TRAIL.
