Located at the western edge of Calgary, Cougar Ridge is heaven for an outdoor enthusiast and nature lover.

By Mario Toneguzzi


Bounded by Paskapoo Slopes and WinSport, formerly Canada Olympic Park, to the north, 69th Street W to the east, 101st Street W to the west and Old Banff Coach Road to the south, the community has everything together in a compact area for a variety of exciting, challenging and thrilling activities.

With its proximity to COP/WinSport, the ski hills, biking trails and walking paths, towering over the Bow Valley, Cougar Ridge has an active vibe which I love.” – David Pellettier, RE/MAX Real Estate (Central)

Skill hills, biking trails, and walking paths towering over the Bow Valley entice people to be outdoors as much as they can in this neighbourhood.

The old Canada Olympic Park area is the gathering place for people in the community. Cougarstone Park and Paskapoo Slopes are wonderful spots for both leisurely and challenging bike rides and walks in a stunning natural and peaceful habitat.

WinSport offers a variety of winter and summer activities including: mountain biking, skiing, hockey, outdoor camps, skating, sports training and more. There are also plenty of camps for children to learn new things.

But one thing not too many people realize is that the facility is much more than the ski hill it has been known for over the past few decades and some of the world-class winter sports competitions held there including of course the 1988 Winter Olympics.

WinSport today has evolved into a gathering place for people to watch sporting events like the Calgary Surge in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. It is also home to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. 

With a live entertainment venue in place as well as food and beverage services, the facility has become a popular place where weddings and galas are catered.

The new Towne Centre in Trinity Hills on land WinSport had for years is home to Save-On-Foods, Sleep Country, Dollarama, PetSmart, Olympia Liquor and GoodLife Fitness. And of course the fairly new Calgary Farmer’s Market is just across Highway 1 on the other side as well as a new Superstore and shopping complex in Bowness at the old Sunnyside Garden site. 

And with 85th Street basically cutting the community in half, there are numerous other shops, services and dining establishments along that increasingly busy street.

That busy street also provides a great quick and easy way out of the neighbourhood going south for quite a distance or as a feeder to Bow Trail and the downtown. And Old Banff Coach Road facilitates an accessible exit from the community to the mountains in the west.

Insights from David.

Calgary real estate 2025… a stable and BALANCED Market                        

The measure of a "Balanced Market" is when demand is balanced with supply. The widely recognized measure of this is Units Sold/New Listings = 40-60%. Month to month, this calendar year, this has consistently reported between 55-60% for the detached market, a healthy, balanced market. You have likely been reading of increasing inventory levels, currently reporting at 2936 detached homes for sale, and +32% to last year, across the city. Despite this significant increase in inventory, Average Price is reporting at +1.2% to last year, a reflection of this Balanced Market, and we are currently sitting with 11.9 weeks supply across the city. Here in Cougar Ridge, with 10 active listings, we are sitting with just 6.5 weeks' supply, well short of what we are seeing across the city.
