West District | ?m | ?s | Truman

[trtcttc]

It is a public park anyone can use it (and I can personally attest to the fact the ziplines in the playground will hold the weight of a fully grown adult..... ;-)). Truman foot the bill to build it, as is standard for any developer to do in a new greenfield community, Truman just chose to go a little higher end/innovative than normal. And that took a LOT of convincing at the City to be allowed to do that from what I understand. There is an HOA for West District, but I am not sure how much of the parks maintenance is covered by those fees, vs. just normal City operations.

Thanks for the info! These newer communities seem to have HOA, while older communities have Community Associations. Curious what difference it makes. The whole CA model in Calgary was very odd for me having lived in Vancouver and Toronto where recreation is primarily city-run.

Many of the new communities have both. The HOA is for the West District specific section. There are other HOAs in West Springs as well, given the fractured development nature of it. But, there is an official community association as well, shared with Cougar Ridge.

I wonder how the amenities in Currie Barracks work? They opened nice washrooms and splash park this summer. The washrooms seem to be cleaned frequently and the splash park seemed to be staffed most of the time (though it just seemed like somebody sitting in the back room...not sure what they even do?). I presume this is coordinated by the city, but I really don't know?
