Meadowlark Park is a community that sits right alongside Chinook Centre, the biggest all in Calgary. The community is bounded by Elbow Drive, Glenmore Trail, Macleod Trail and 58th Ave SW. The community is a mixture of the commercial and residential sharing its location with some of Calgary’s finest retail shopping.
The community is fairly small in size, as half of the territory is taken up with business and retail stores. The other half sits in a tucked away, fenced off area, separate from the mall and the traffic it generates.
The people of Meadowlark Park are relatively few in number. Just a few hundred live in this small area close to the mall. Although Meadowlark Park shares borders with Mayfair and Bel-Aire, some of Calgary’s most prestigious living areas, it’s not as affluent and exclusive in nature. The average resident makes slightly above the Calgary average and it shares much of the similar traits with the rest of Calgary’s resident.
Meadowlark Park inhabitants are living in single-family homes, detached housing that goes back to the 1950s when it was first annexed. Much of these homes still retain that character and feel, and many of them have been renovated to offer more modern housing options. 28% of the neighbourhood are first-generation Canadians. The vast majority have chosen to acquire some sort of post-secondary degree, giving them better opportunities to find careers in Calgary’s downtown core.
The Meadowlark Park Community Association is a small gathering of volunteers that work hard to connect this community together. They formed a board and association in order to provide programs, rent the facility hall out for events, and hold several gatherings throughout the year for people to enjoy and link to each other.
