A L T A D O R E
Altadore is a great community in south Calgary, well known for its many parks, walkability, family-friendly vibe and great restaurants and shopping. Trendy cafes, coffee shops, souvenir shops and dining spots can be found along 33rd Ave SW and Uptown 17th Ave SW. Garrison Woods is a sub-community of Altadore and hasa more suburban feel with many parks and playgrounds. It is heavily influenced by the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Calgary, which was the mainstay for most Canadian Forces employees up until 1996. At that time, the city began redeveloping the area into what it is today.
