Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT WILDWOOD

What makes Wildwood's location distinctive?
Wildwood sits on an elevated plateau south of the Bow River, offering exceptional views of the river valley and natural landscape. This hilltop location provides both scenic beauty and a sense of separation from urban areas while maintaining access to major arterials like Bow Trail. The elevated setting combined with proximity to Edworthy Park creates a unique blend of nature access and residential tranquility.
What outdoor recreation is available from Wildwood?
Residents have direct access to Edworthy Park with 169 hectares of trails, natural areas, Douglas Fir Trail (featuring 500-year-old trees), and Lawrey Gardens. The Bow River pathway system provides year-round walking, cycling, and nature experiences. Glendale Meadows is also nearby. These areas offer hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and seasonal outdoor activities.
What is the housing stock like in Wildwood?
Wildwood features primarily single-detached bungalows built in the 1950s, located on wide lots with rear laneways. This mid-century design emphasizes spacious residential properties with established mature trees and gardens. The homogeneous architectural character creates a cohesive neighbourhood feel, though the community is beginning to see selective modern infill development on available lots.
How close is Wildwood to shopping and amenities?
Wildwood is bordered by Bow Trail, a major southwest arterial, providing convenient access to shopping, dining, and services. Nearby areas like Signal Hill and nearby retail districts are a short drive away. The neighbourhood itself is primarily residential, with commercial services accessible via Bow Trail rather than directly within the community.
What is Wildwood's community character and history?
Wildwood is a mature, established neighbourhood founded in the 1950s with stable, long-term residents. The community has maintained its quiet, residential character over more than six decades. The established nature of the neighbourhood means stable infrastructure, mature landscaping, and a long-standing sense of residential identity. It's attractive to those valuing community stability and nature proximity.
Are there specific nature features that make Wildwood special?
Yes. The Douglas Fir Trail within adjacent Edworthy Park is one of Canada's easternmost stands of Douglas Fir trees, with specimens over 500 years old. These trees thrive in Wildwood's microclimate due to abundant water and protection from drying winds. The trail is nicknamed \"dead man's drop\" for its dramatic 200-foot escarpment and \"drunken forest\" for oddly-angled trees—a must-see for nature enthusiasts.
