By the numbers
Forest Lawn 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 Forest Lawn
Fun facts: Three hamlets grew up here around 1910: Forest Lawn, Albert Park and Hubalta. Hubalta had tractor makers, a marmalade factory and its own railway stop. Forest Lawn became a town in the early 1950s, and in 1958 it applied to become a city but never finished the application.
Forest Lawn runs from 8 Avenue to 26 Avenue SE, between 36 and 52 Street, about 6 km east of downtown. International Avenue (17 Avenue SE) runs through the middle and is lined with independent shops, Asian markets and restaurants from around the world.
There is a recreation hub at 14 Avenue and 47 Street: Bob Bahan Aquatic & Fitness Centre, Ernie Starr Arena, an outdoor pool and Forest Lawn Athletic Park. The community hall on 26 Avenue has a lounge and an outdoor rink. MAX Purple runs downtown along 17 Avenue, with stops at 36, 44 and 52 Street.
Things to do: Walk the murals along 17 Avenue and 41 Street. Swim at Bob Bahan. Play pool or darts at the community hall's Torch Lounge. Go to the hall's Stampede breakfast. Visit Forest Lawn Library.
Nearest farmers’ market: Crossroads Market, 1235 26 Avenue SE — Friday to Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, year-round, indoors (outdoor vendors in summer) — about 5 km away.
