New Homes for Sale in Connaught, Calgary
Connaught is a community in the inner-city core of Calgary that connects the western park of the Beltline. Beltline is the nearest area to the downtown core and brings opportunities to many individuals on a daily basis. The Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre is a great asset to the community with a pool, climbing wall, gym, and several fitness rooms. You have access to bike paths galore, especially now that 12th avenue is connected with the inner city bike lane development. If you live in Beltline, you can more safely ride from your doorstep all the way to Prince’s Island Park or the opposite way towards 17th avenue. Connaught Park is a beautifully redeveloped park filled with new benches, landscaping, and pathways.
Depending on the apartment complex you live in, you can have access to private gyms and pools for residents. There are numerous outdoor parks within the beltline that can also provide coffee dates and afternoon walks. Another gorgeous spot with a well-recognized street art sculpture is called the Barb Scott Park. This park holds value for people of all kinds, even art enthusiasts. Joe O’Connell and Blessing Hancock gained approval for Chinook Arc in 2011. The community played a big part in deciding where to build within the development of the Barb Scott Park. This piece is intended to enchant drivers and people passing by on 12th avenue downtown. The 28 ft. wide by 15 ft. tall is made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, acrylic and silicon. Remarkably, this sculpture is the world’s largest acrylic design to date.
