The large lots of land and set-back streets are ideal for homes and don’t suit the modern apartments popping up in other neighbourhoods.
The Elbow Park Residents Association is a volunteer board that offers the community opportunities to connect with each other. Their monthly newsletter talks about possible impacts to the community, upcoming events, and information about facilities and programs available to the residents.
