Pine Creek

Concrete trucks are still a morning sight in Pine Creek — a far-south community where finished streets of new homes run alongside lots that broke ground not long ago. The creek the neighbourhood takes its name from runs as a natural corridor through the area, with trails that get used for dog walks and the occasional cast. For groceries, residents head to the Sobeys in Silverado or the Save-On-Foods in Walden, both a short drive south. The City of Calgary Pine Creek Nursery — where the city propagates trees for planting across Calgary — sits near the community's southern edge, an unusual civic neighbour that keeps this part of the fringe noticeably open between the new construction.
