Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge

The Rocky Ridge recreation facility opened to the public on January 15, 2018.

The recreation facility operates as the Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge and is located at11300 Rocky Ridge Rd. N.W.

The facility sits in a natural park with views of the city and mountains, tucked between an existing hill that reaches Calgary’s highest natural elevation and a reconstructed wetland. The building, which is approximately 284,000 square feet in size, is designed to complement the surrounding landscape. Construction of the facility began in 2014.

This facility is the third of four new recreation facilities to be completed in across Calgary - a total investment of $480 million. The new facilities respond to a need for increased service in these areas and are designed to meet the specific needs of the surrounding communities.

Teams, individuals and families of all ages and abilities are invited to enjoy this unique outdoor and indoor recreation experience. For more information, visit YMCA Calgary.
