Location Update

The city has selected a site in Lynnwood Ridge Park that they think has the best potential for a community garden. They have ordered a soil sample for this location as the next step towards approval.

Below is a drawing to show what is possible within the space that has been selected.

Locations Considered

To determine the best location for the garden we worked with the community, MOCA and the City of Calgary to identify appropriate locations for the garden. See below for the locations considered:

North of MOCA

If placed closer to the ballpark, this location should receive adequate sunlight. Potential for rainwater harvesting from neighboring buildings.

North East Lynnwood Ridge Park

Adequate space to construct a garden.


South East of MOCA

No longer under consideration

Spoke with MOCA and they already have plans for the future use of this location.

North of Jack Setters Arena

No longer under consideration

Spoke with City of Calgary Parks Department and this location has severe drainage and flooding issues in spring.
