Nose Creek also hosts many cultural celebrations and sporting events throughout the year.

In terms of indoor recreation, Airdrie's Genesis Place is a fully-equipped recreation centre featuring everything from children’s programs and adult fitness classes to swimming pools, soccer fields, NHL-sized arenas, and running tracks. You'll never run out of things to do around here.

A Great Location

While Ravenswood allows you to enjoy the low-key elegance of Airdrie's natural landscapes, you'll also benefit from fast access to all big city amenities. For example, CrossIron Mills Outlet Mall is just a couple of minutes away, easily accessible from the QE2.

If you happen to work in Calgary, or like frequent out-of-town getaways, Deerfoot Trail provides a fast, straight drive to the heart of Calgary, while Stoney Trail serves as a route to resort towns like Kananaskis and Banff.

Fit For Families

Highly regarded schools in both Airdrie and Calgary are also easily accessible from this community. Whether you are looking for public, Catholic, private or specialty schooling options Ravenswood has it all.
