Project Information
Introduction
The Forest Lawn Civic Centre will be a new multi-service centre that will be a key community hub in the Greater Forest Lawn Area. It is being designed through a collaborative process to address the area’s aging infrastructure. The centre will feature a mix of indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, an arts and culture centre, housing, and a fire station.
Location
The site is in Forest Lawn between 14 Avenue S.E. and 8 Avenue S.E., and between 47 Street S.E. and 52 Street S.E. It covers 26.4 acres and is close to the City of Calgary's 17 Avenue Main Streets initiative and the planned 52 Street S.E. BRT route.
