By the numbers
Elbow Park 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.

About Elbow Park
Fun facts: the Elbow Park pool, opened in 1914 and now part of J.H. Woods Park, was Calgary’s first public swimming facility. The park’s namesake, J.H. Woods, was editor of the Calgary Herald and donated the land. A 1912 streetcar loop survives as a cul-de-sac on Sifton Boulevard — that old line is today’s Route 3. And the original 1926 Elbow Park School served as Calgary’s emergency hospital during the Second World War. The Elbow Park Tennis Club dates back to around 1926.
Elbow Park sits along the Elbow River in Calgary’s inner southwest, from the ridge near 29 Avenue and Premier Way south to the river and Lansdowne Avenue, and from the river west to 14 Street SW. The City annexed it in 1907, and the first houses went up in 1909. Nearly all homes are single-family houses, many from before 1960, on tree-lined streets.
The Elbow Park Residents Association has its clubhouse at 800 34 Avenue SW, with an outdoor rink, basketball courts and the Elbow Park Tennis Club. Elbow Park School (K–6) and William Reid School (French Immersion) are in the community. Route 3 runs along Elbow Drive into downtown, and the Elbow River pathway follows the river.
Things to do: J.H. Woods Park, with a playground, chess tables, gardens and a rocky river beach; the five clay courts at the Elbow Park Tennis Club (guests welcome); winter skating at the outdoor rink and the basketball courts; Sandy Beach and River Park next door, with picnic spots and a big off-leash area; the Elbow River pathway; and the shops and restaurants of 4 Street SW in Mission, a short trip north.
Farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 4 km away.
