South Canmore, Lion's Park and Larch

Nestled between the Bow River and Main Street, South Canmore is one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the Bow Valley. This walkable community offers an exceptional mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and fourplexes, becoming more tranquil and spacious as you move closer to the river. Residents enjoy quick access to Canmore’s best amenities—boutique shopping on Main Street, local cafés and restaurants, Elevation Place, and nearby grocery stores—all just minutes from home.

A scenic trail system along the Bow River connects South Canmore to the Canmore Nordic Centre and beyond, perfect for morning runs, bike rides, or evening strolls. The community also features Lawrence Grassi Middle School, the Roundhouse Canmore Community Daycare, and Centennial Park, home to beloved local events like Canada Day celebrations, the Highland Games, and the Canmore Folk Festival. Mature trees and green spaces bring a true mountain-town charm—where elk and songbirds are familiar neighbours.

Just north and west of downtown lies Lion’s Park, a quiet, tree-lined neighbourhood of primarily single-family homes. Originally developed in the 1960s, the area is now experiencing thoughtful redevelopment as homeowners seek the balance of space, privacy, and proximity to downtown. The community takes its name from Lion’s Park, a large green space with a soccer field, tennis courts, playground, and forested trails—one of Canmore’s most loved parks.

To the west, Larch is a peaceful enclave of cul-de-sacs bordered by the Canmore Golf and Curling Club and the Bow River/Larch Islands. Known for its spacious lots, mature trees, and sweeping mountain views, Larch offers a classic Canmore lifestyle—quiet, natural, and connected to the outdoors, all within walking distance of schools and downtown.

Together, South Canmore, Lion’s Park, and Larch embody the best of mountain living—vibrant, scenic, and community-oriented neighbourhoods at the heart of Canmore.
