The Upper Hall - Capacity 80

Our Upper Hall is approximately 32 feet wide by 50 feet long with a high ceiling. There's a two-step riser to a stage that makes it ideal for speeches or deejays. It's finished in a warm, wood-grained panelling with brass plates. Windows are sealed units, doors are well-insulated. There's a newly renovated kitchen that includes a fridge, stove, microwave and coffee urn. The kitchen also has a pass-through counter, so excess traffic can be directed away from kitchen activities. The pass-through counter also has a hot and cold bar sink for convenience. The upper hall is in great shape and very clean, although some of its long-planned renovations are already under way.                

 

The Lower Hall  - Capacity 50

The lower hall is slightly smaller than the upper hall, and has lower ceilings at 9 feet. 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, which also has a pass-through counter, for safety. 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 for everything from training classes to Sunday School, to staging activities for outdoor dog agility trials. It is a very versatile space.

Storage Facilities

The hall has two storage rooms available for rent. These are clean and dry, concrete floor spaces, with wooden walls. Each room is approximately 10x10. Rental of these spaces is at your own risk, for security and fire - our procedures are good, but we cannot be held responsible for the liability of others, or for forced entry. These rooms are excellent for short-term storage of items you do not need to see for a while. Access is only by appointment with the hall manager. The hall manager holds the keys to the room, and to the hall.

We also have a limited number of storage cupboards and some small rooms available for rent by regular hall users.  For costs please click Rates above.

The Park

The community hall is located on 58th Ave SW, immediately adjacent to a City park. The park is available for hall users, as it is for members of the public, but it can also be booked specifically through the City of Calgary, Parks and Recreation. Our recommendation, if you need to make sure the park is there for you, is to book it through the City department, then book the hall through us. We cannot book the park for you. The park has a baseball diamond which is used for simple games of catch, and for organized league softball. It also boasts a wonderful children's playground that was greatly upgraded in 2007.

The Parking Lot

The parking lot is sufficient for the normal number of vehicles of people who are using the hall. Should it happen to overflow, parking is available on 58th Ave (stay out of the bus zone!) and along Meadowview Road's north side. Be wary of loading zones and other parking restrictions, and please don't block our neighbours' access to their own garages. We try hard to be good neighbours.

The Building

Our community hall boasts a total of five washrooms - two downstairs and three upstairs. The upper hall also includes a barrier-free washroom for special needs individuals. We've also 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.
