Calgary Attractions
Applewood Greenway
Applewood Greenway is a local corridor of grass and trees that runs north to south through Applewood Park. It covers about 2.7 hectares in the City's parks records. It works best as a quick, traffic-free walk, a place to stretch your legs with a leashed dog or a short loop on a run.

The Community
Applewood Park is in southeast Calgary and dates back to 1982. Its edges are the CN rail line on the north, Stoney Trail on the east, 17 Avenue SE on the south and 68 Street SE on the west. Next door you'll find Penbrooke Meadows, Red Carpet and Belvedere.
Not to Be Confused With
The Rotary/Mattamy Greenway is a different thing: a 138 km ring of parks and pathways around the whole city. It also passes Applewood, and that's where you'll find CN Rail Playpark. Parks Foundation Calgary and The City rebuilt the playpark, and it reopened in 2025 with inclusive play equipment, shade and seating, and a small skate area.
Close By
- Elliston Park, across 17 Avenue SE to the south
- East Hills Shopping Centre, just east over Stoney Trail
- A new 2.4 km pathway along the east side of 68 Street, from Abbotsford Drive NE to Applewood Drive SE, which the City expected to finish in fall 2026
Getting Around
Most people walk in from their own street. By car, 17 Avenue SE, 68 Street SE and Stoney Trail are the routes you'll use. If you want an established east-side community with quick access to Stoney Trail, I'm happy to show you around Applewood.
