Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Trinity Hills is ideally located along the iconic Paskapoo Slopes in Southwest Calgary. We're just steps from Paskapoo Slopes, 160 acres of an environmental reserve with 17 kilometres of hiking and mountain biking trails. In addition to being surrounded by nature, you’re only an 8 minute walk (or a 1 minute drive) from Na'a Plaza which is a shopping complex with a grocery store, bakery, and liquor store. The Calgary Farmers Market is only 2 km away (25 minute walk) where you can try out awesome local restaurants, pick up some cool Calgarian gifts, or grab groceries for dinner.
The excellent connectivity via surrounding major roadways provide easy access to the majestic Banff National Park entrance only 95km away and all of Calgary’s top destinations: 12 km to downtown, 7 km to the University of Calgary, and only 1.5 km to Canada Olympic Park.
