Winner: Discovery Ridge
A great neighbourhood for outdoorsy types should naturally include easy access to the Rockies, but true outdoorsy types need their urban wilderness, too. Tucked in alongside Highway 8 on the city’s westernmost edge, residents of Discovery Ridge are practically halfway to Kananaskis Country before they even get in their vehicles, with Griffith Woods Park, one of the city’s most picturesque natural areas, right in their backyard.
Honourable Mentions:
