Shawnessy Park Community Centre in Calgary Alberta

Located at Shawinigan Park, the Shawnessy Community Centre has an interesting past. It is the last usable barn within Calgary City limits. This unique vernacular-style barn was built in 1915 by homesteader John McInnes and it is impressive. Not only is it the Community Centre for the residents of Shawnessy but is a much sought-after wedding venue. The interior of the historic barn is perfect for weddings, family gatherings and birthdays with a warm wood interior. Interior photos to follow.
