Calgary Attractions
Richmond Green
Richmond Green sits on 33 Avenue SW, just east of Crowchild Trail, on about 15 hectares of City parkland. It was the Richmond Green golf course until the City closed it after the 2019 season. Since then, the City has been turning it into a regional park. Part of the site sits over underground drinking water reservoirs.

What's Being Built
The City is doing the work in phases. Phase 1 cleared the old Operations Work Centre in 2025. Phase 2, from 2026 to 2028, brings:
- 16 dedicated pickleball courts where the tennis courts were
- A cricket batting cage
- A redesigned 13-hole disc golf course with a practice area
- A destination playground and a picnic area with shelters
- New pathways, stormwater features and more parking with drop-off areas
A biking amenity is planned in Phase 3, starting in 2027. The City expects the whole project to be finished in spring 2028.
Right Now
The disc golf course closed for upgrades on September 21, 2026, and should reopen in 2028. The baseball diamond and the toboggan hill remain open through construction. Because closures move as the work goes, I'd check the City's project page before heading over.
Who It Serves
If you live in Richmond, Killarney/Glengarry, Rutland Park or South Calgary, you can walk here. Currie Barracks and Garrison Woods are a quick drive away. Ask me about these inner-southwest neighbourhoods, where older bungalows and newer infills sit side by side.
