## Recreation and Daily Services

Two recreation sites are mapped in Downtown West End, one named Outdoor Resource Centre and another labeled Recreation. A single dog park is also included in the amenity set. These facilities provide basic outdoor and recreational infrastructure for residents. The specific programs offered at these sites are not detailed in the local evidence.

The city-wide recreation program catalogue lists 382 programs, but none are explicitly scoped to Downtown West End facilities. Programs such as adaptive weight room fitness, acrylic painting, and birthday parties are available at other city centres. Residents may access these services, but the local evidence does not confirm direct availability within the neighbourhood. Sources:

## City market context

From the Calgary market article, 22 September 2026:

Calgary's August 2026 real estate data reveals a market where falling supply is outpacing falling demand, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio above 60 percent. Despite this apparent tightness, apartment prices have corrected 13 percent from their 2024 peak, signaling a segment-specific softening that complicates the overall outlook. Calgary's August 2026 market shows a divergent signal: while total residential sales fell 16% year-over-year to 1,660 units, the sales-to-new-listings ratio pushed above 60% due to a sharper 10% drop in new listings. This suggests a short-term absorption spike rather than a broad-based demand recovery, as apartment prices remain 13% below their 2024 peak.
