Kingsland

South of the river and well-served by bus routes to Chinook Station and the surrounding south LRT network, Kingsland has the feel of a neighbourhood people settle into rather than pass through. The commercial strip leans toward dining and daily errands — Yummy Russia handles the grocery run with an Eastern European specialty angle, and Shoppers Drug Mart sits nearby for the rest. St. Augustine Elementary Junior High School draws families, and the Rose Kohn and Jimmy Condon Arenas pull in skaters and hockey families from surrounding communities through the winter months. The Kingsland off-leash park becomes a natural twice-a-day rhythm, and the presence of both Calgary Korean Baptist Church and Diamond Way Buddhism reflects the range of communities that have put down roots in this part of the south.
