Rideau Park is an upscale, Riverside neighbourhood in southwest Calgary, renowned for its historic charm & tranquil setting.

The area includes several unique features such as cul-de-sacs & crescents, adding to the neighbourhood's charm. Its central location offers easy access to Downtown, as well as nearby parks & recreational facilities. The community is served by the Rideau-Roxboro Community Association, which organises local events. With its blend of Historic Architecture, natural beauty, & urban access, Rideau Park remains one of Calgary's most desirable places to live. Here is an overview.
History:
Early Development: Established in the 1910's & 1920's, Rideau Park has long been associated with Calgary’s upper class. It was originally part of the Elbow Park Annex, annexed to the City in 1910. The neighbourhood's development began in 1914 with the Rideau Heights subdivision, designed by Maurice Yelland Brown, who also designed neighbouring Elboya & Britannia. Brown's intention was to create a series of “islands” connected by parkland, still evident in Rideau Park today which reflects its evolution over decades.
Architectural Heritage: The neighbourhood showcases classic architectural styles, including Edwardian, Tudor Revival, & Colonial Revival, contributing to its unique charm & historical significance.
Prime Location: Nestled along the banks of the Elbow River, Rideau Park offers residents scenic river views & direct access to picturesque natural landscapes. Its proximity to Downtown Calgary ensures convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a tranquil environment.
