Albert Park/Radisson Heights is a neighbourhood located to the east of the Downtown and inner city and is separated from them by the Bow River and Deerfoot Trail. It has a population of approximately 6,400 people [1]. This community enjoys ample open space, is well provided with public and separate schools, has good access to shopping and city-wide transportation routes, and has views of the Bow River Valley, the Downtown and the mountains.

Alberta Park/Radisson Heights has the distinction of having an amazing skyline and Rocky Mountain View.

However, like many communities close to Downtown, it suffers from a number of problems such as shortcutting of nonlocal traffic, residential infill development that is insensitive to the block or the community at large.
