Summer is a great time to be in our beautiful community. In addition to Griffith Woods, our path network and the shops and services at Cornerstone Square, we also have fantastic recreation facilities for residents to enjoy.

Since 2010, the Discovery Ridge Community Association (DRCA) has raised funds and developed our facilities in phases having invested $1.5 million to date. We now enjoy high quality amenities including the hockey and leisure rinks in winter and in summer, the picnic tables/landscape area, tennis courts, and sport court on the rink that accommodates pickleball and hockey. We also have our recreation building that supports the operation of these facilities along with our special events including the Stampede Roundup and Music in the Park.

Demand for tennis courts is growing and of course pickleball participation has exploded in recent years. We are fortunate to have first class tennis courts and separate pickleball courts so that residents can enjoy both at the same time. Whether you are already a player or interested in learning, our courts are available!

Please note that the DRCA is not directly responsible for either the adjacent playground or soccer fields as both are operated by the City of Calgary.

While you enjoy our recreation facilities, please remember that they are all maintained by volunteers, so a friendly reminder to take good care and keep the areas clean. Of course, if you use the facilities or your family does, we are always looking for volunteers to help.

We recently added lighting for the tennis courts to extend the season in the fall and will continue to look at capital enhancements to our recreation area in the coming years. However, as our facilities start to age, we are also planning for lifecycle repairs that are on the horizon. If you have any suggestions on amenities you would like to see at the park, please let the DRCA board know.

Summer in Calgary is beautiful but goes by very quickly so be sure to take advantage of the first-class facilities in our community.
