Our Upper Hall is approximately 32 feet wide by 50 feet long with 12 foot ceilings. There's a two-step riser on either side of a stage that is ideal for speeches or deejays. It's finished in a warm, tenderfoot neutral colour, with wooden wainscoting throughout. Windows are sealed units, doors are well-insulated and include panic hardware for rapid exit in an emergency. There's a renovated kitchen that includes an industrial fridge, stove, microwave and coffee urn. The kitchen offers a pass-through counter, so excess traffic can be directed away from kitchen activities. The pass-through area has a second wet bar sink for added convenience. The upper hall was renovated in stages from 2008 to 2010 and is in excellent condition.

The lower hall is only slightly smaller than the upper hall, and offers 9 foot ceilings. It was renovated in 2003 and is completely rental-ready. It is ideal for training activities, classes and meetings. It has its own washrooms and its own kitchenette, with a pass-through counter, for safety and convenience. It is equipped with whiteboards - for visual training activities - and has its own chairs and tables. It has been used by companies, churches, clubs and individuals hosting everything from training classes to Sunday School, as well as staging activities for outdoor activities. It is a very versatile space.

The Park
The community hall is located on 58th Ave SW, immediately adjacent to a city park. The park is available for hall users, and members of the public alike, but it can also be booked specifically through the City of Calgary - Parks and Recreation - should you desire. Our recommendation, if you need to make sure the park is there for you, is to book the park through City Parks, then book the hall through us; we cannot book the park for you. The park has a baseball diamond which is used for pick-up games, and for organized little-league softball as well. The park also boasts a wonderful adjoining children's playground which was upgraded in 2007.

Parking
Parking is ample. Should it happen to overflow, parking is also available on 58th Ave (stay out of the bus zone!) and along Meadowview Road's north side. Be aware of loading zones and other parking restrictions, and please don't block access to our neighbours' garages.
Other Amenities and Access
Our community hall boasts a total of five washrooms - two downstairs and three upstairs. The upper hall includes a barrier-free washroom for special needs. We've added a wheelchair ramp for access to the upper hall from the front. Walkways on the west side of the hall are paved, to allow for safer flow of pedestrian traffic from the parking lot to the front entrance.
