Oakridge blends big-city access with a close-to-nature rhythm in southwest Calgary. Bordering the Glenmore Reservoir, residents step into expansive pathways, sailing and paddling views, and family-friendly picnic spots at South Glenmore Park. Weekends often mean bike rides through the Weaselhead, dog walks under mature treetops, and kids conquering playgrounds before grabbing a treat at local cafes. Indoor recreation is just minutes away at the Southland Leisure Centre, with pools, arenas, and year-round programs.
Education stands out here. Louis Riel School serves K–9 with well-regarded programming, while Catholic families look to St. Benedict School. Community spirit runs strong through the Oakridge Community Association, home to seasonal rinks, pickleball and tennis, fitness classes, and events that make it easy to meet neighbors. Day-to-day errands are simple, thanks to nearby grocery options, services, and casual dining along Southland Drive and 24 Street.
Housing ranges from well-built mid-century homes on quiet cul-de-sacs to tasteful renovations that keep the area’s leafy character intact. Commuters appreciate quick connections to major routes and nearby C-Train stations, while weekend explorers can hop to adjacent neighborhoods like Palliser, Cedarbrae, and Braeside for additional parks and amenities.
