parks & recreation
East Village is a rare urban neighbourhood firmly in touch with the natural world. For the past five years, EV master developer CMLC has been focused on the development of public spaces for all residents and Calgarians' to enjoy for decades to come. Discover EV's innovative pedestrian pathway, RiverWalk and explore the soon-to-be revitalized St. Patrick's Island – it is all on your door steps.
RiverWalk
RiverWalk is a pedestrian promenade that extends 2km from Centre Street Bridge SE, along the Bow River and through Fort Calgary to 9th Avenue SE. Once completed, the pathway will extend 4km to the Talisman Centre, linking neighbourhoods from China Town, East Village and Victoria Park.
St. Patrick's Island
St. Patrick's Island is a 31-acre oasis just a stone's throw from East Village. The unique island will undergo a transformation this spring that will revitalize the island into a destination for all Calgarians’ to enjoy.
Fort Calgary
Bordering the eastern edge of East Village resides Fort Calgary, the birth place of our City. Today, the Fort’s 40-acres of preserved green space offer the perfect backdrop to the vibrancy of East Village.
Park Development
Along with the open spaces of the RiverWalk, St. Patrick’s Island and Fort Calgary, two new public parks are planned for East Village: 5th Street Square and Central Square.
