ROCKY RIDGE / ROYAL OAK
Rocky Ridge and Royal Oak are located in Calgary’s extreme northwest. The area was annexed from the Municipal District of Rockyview in 1989. The community landscape preserves the wetlands, woods and a ridge that overlooks the Rocky Mountains. Environmentally sensitive wet ponds have been placed among houses and pathways. The Royal Oak ravine has been preserved and some of the wetlands have been converted to stormwater facilities. There is also plenty of green space, an environmental reserve and a pathway system winds through the community and connects with the city’s pathway network.
The community also targets the needs of local families by providing tot lots, parks, a wading pool, and tennis courts. The community association does not yet have its own building, but often rents a developer supported and run community hall. The lack of a building has not prevented the association from being extremely active in the community however. The association runs a moms and tots program, and facilitates Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and dance classes. Outdoor sports and dance classes are also offered. The community association also acts as an advocate for residents. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by the fact that Rocky Ridge and Royal Oak got bus service even before older neighboring communities received theirs. To finance these programs and endeavors, the community has regular fundraising casinos.
Rocky Ridge is north of Crowchild Trail, and west of Rocky Ridge Road, about 1 kilometre west of Stoney Trail. Stoney Trail connects the community to the Trans-Canada Highway, just west of Canada Olympic Park.
Shopping
Crowfoot Town Centre, off Nose Hill Drive, has a Safeway and Revy, restaurants and several auto dealers.
Recreation
The community has a 3,000-square-foot clubhouse, a pond with paddle boats, and plenty of green space with two tennis courts, a beach volleyball court and a jungle gym facility. There is an annual fee of $250. When the separate school is built, east of Rocky Ridge Rd, there will be two ball diamonds and a soccer field included.
Homes
Rocky Ridge construction began in 1995, with the first phase called Rocky Ridge Ranch, which will eventually have 2,500 homes. All the houses will have a western theme, with vinyl siding (no stucco), stone or river rock facades (no brick) and where appropriate, large front verandas.
