playgrounds
The Acadia community is a vibrant and active community with members of all ages and abilities. Several playground structures within the community are outdated and not meeting the needs of our community children for play. Our wish is to create a meeting place for local residents to congregate, socialize and play with the added benefit of attracting people from all over the region.
The Playgrounds Committee is a committee of the Acadia Community Association comprised of a group of volunteers, which include parents and community members. The committee's mandate is to bring together the resources needed to develop and build new playgrounds and revitalize greenspaces located in the boundaries of the community of Acadia.
This section of the website has been designed to tell you about our on-going plans and initiatives in this regard and to garner community support and fundraising for these important projects. Thanks for visiting!

Acadia’s Playgrounds
Acadia has seven community-based playground structures located within its boundaries.
The Addison Place Playground (ACA198) was replaced recently in 2021 by the Acadia Community Association with support from Parks Foundation Calgary and the City of Calgary.
Aside from this playground, the remaining six are in fair condition and are approaching or have already exceeded their end of life.
The Playgrounds Committee has identified the next playground replacement project to be the Allandale Close Playground (ACA193) located beside the new Cardel Homes development and are aiming for replacement by the end of 2026.
