Shawinigan Park, SW Calgary Alberta

Community of Shawnessy

Shawinigan Park is located in the Community of Shawnessy in SW Calgary and is a sprawling park with rolling hills and beautiful mature trees that fill the park along smooth paved pathways. The park winds through the community and the unusual shape makes it a wonderful place for a walk or jog and in the winter you can ice skate at the Shawnessy Outdoor Rink. There are 2 kid's playgrounds as well as 3 tennis courts and a Community Centre with an interesting past.

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.
