By the numbers
Discovery Ridge at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Discovery Ridge
Fun facts: Griffith Woods is named for Wilbur Griffith, an Oklahoma oilman who bought the ranch land in 1952; he and his wife Betty donated it to the City in 1998, and the park opened in 2000. It holds one of only two large white spruce stands in Calgary’s parks, and its oxbow wetlands are old bends the Elbow River left behind. Residents paid for their own recreation facility, and a yearly casino fundraiser brings in about $70,000–$80,000 for it. Even empty bottles help: cans and bottles dropped at the community’s Bottle Shack — painted with a mural by local artist Emily Beaudin — fund the facility too.
Discovery Ridge is a quiet southwest community on the city’s edge, above the Elbow River valley next to Signal Hill and Springbank Hill, with the Tsuut’ina Nation lands beyond the river. Homes are mostly detached houses built from the 1990s on (the typical home dates to 2005), plus The Wedgewoods condo area and the Griffith Pointe and gated Discovery Valley Cove enclaves. A small strip on Discovery Ridge Hill has a doughnut shop and an Indian restaurant, and many pathways look west to the mountains.
There are no schools inside the community. The community association runs a hockey rink, a leisure rink, a heated change area and members-only tennis and pickleball courts, and a separate homeowners’ association looks after green spaces, boulevard plantings, winter pathway clearing and winter lights.
Things to do: trails, boardwalks and ponds in Griffith Woods Park; skating on the community rinks; tennis and pickleball for members; the summer Stampede RoundUp; and the fall Pumpkin Hunt and Parade of Costumes.
Nearest farmers’ market: Calgary Farmers’ Market West, 25 Greenbriar Drive NW — Wednesday to Sunday, year-round, indoors — about 8 km away.
