By the numbers
Highland 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.
The community
About Highland Park
Fun facts: Highland Park gets its name from its high elevation, and it covers four old district names — North Balmoral, Ree-Heights, La Hoyt and Highland Park. The Tuxedo streetcar once ran up Centre Street to a “Highland Park” stop at 32 Avenue, from 1909 to 1947. Nearby Confederation Park was created in 1967 for Canada’s centennial, on what was called “the North Hill Coulee.” Today, a rain garden of native plants grows where the hall’s old playground stood, beside the “Blooming Together” mural by a local artist — and Queen’s Park Cemetery’s mausoleum is, by the City’s account, Calgary’s only indoor climate-controlled one.
Highland Park sits in north-central Calgary, from 32 Avenue north to McKnight Boulevard, and from 4 Street NW east to Edmonton Trail. The land was annexed in 1910, but most building came after 1946, starting with small postwar bungalows. Today homes are a mix of duplexes, low-rise condos, and single-family and semi-detached houses, with some newer infill.
The Highland Park Community Association at 3716 2 Street NW has halls, a gym, an outdoor rink and garden boxes, and runs a preschool and seniors’ programs. Buchanan School (K–6) and James Fowler High School are in the community, and MAX Green runs along Centre Street.
Things to do: programs and garden boxes at the community hall; winter skating at the community rink; the natural log play area off Centre Street near 40 Avenue; Confederation Park a short distance west, with pathways, tobogganing and a canoe-sculpture playground; and a quiet walk through Queen’s Park Cemetery’s grounds and veterans’ Field of Honour.
Nearest farmers’ market: Cambrian Heights Farmers’ Market, 600 Northmount Drive NW — Tuesdays, 3–7 pm, late May to early October — about 1.8 km away. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 4 km away.
