By the numbers
Parkdale 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 Parkdale
Fun facts: the sculpture at Parkdale Plaza, Outflow, is an upside-down model of Mount Peechee near Canmore — and it doubles as a working stormwater outlet into the Bow. The plaza is part of the City’s “Landscape of Memory” along Memorial Drive, the second after Poppy Plaza. And the streetcar to Bowness once ran along today’s 3 Avenue NW, from 1912 to 1950 — Parkdale’s streets were laid out parallel to the tracks.
Parkdale sits in northwest Calgary on the Bow River, from the Foothills hospital site and 16 Avenue NW south to the river, between 28 Street NW and Shaganappi Trail. It was annexed in 1910 and mostly built after the Second World War. Homes are a mix of older bungalows, many infills, semi-detached homes and duplexes, and low-rise condos.
The Parkdale Community Association at 3512 5 Avenue NW has an outdoor rink, playfields, a community garden and a Little Free Library, and hosts a 55+ club. Westmount Charter School’s elementary campus is in the old Parkdale School, and Foothills Medical Centre is on the north edge.
Things to do: Parkdale Plaza and its river views on the Bow River pathway; Nove Nine Diner & Coffee on 3 Avenue NW; Caspian Supermarket, a specialty grocery; Sprout Calgary plant store on Parkdale Crescent; and the community rink and garden.
Nearest farmers’ market: Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market, 1320 5 Avenue NW — Wednesdays, 3–7 pm, year-round (outdoors late May to early October, then indoors) — about 3 km away.
