Albert Park Real Estate

The community of Albert Park is closely associated with the neighboring community of Radisson Heights, both of which are found in the Northeast quadrant of Calgary. Albert Park also has the honor of being one of the oldest communities in Calgary, having been developed between 1908 and 1950. The community is named after Albert Smyth, who disappeared with his business partner after being caught trying to pull a scam in 1912 in which they tried to lure residents to the area with false stories of an up-and-coming streetcar connection to neighboring Forest Lawn. The community is bounded by the Bow River to the north, Forest Lawn to the east, 17th Avenue to the south and Memorial Drive to the north. Albert Park has a good community association and is represented by Ward 10 in the Calgary City Council.
