History

Huntington Hills is a residential neighbourhood in the north-west and north-east quadrant of Calgary. It has close proximity to Deerfoot Trail and Nose Creek Park. The land was annexed to the City of Calgary in 1961 and Huntington Hills was established in 1967 when substantial development began to occur.

Due to its elevation, the area offers excellent views of the city and the Rock Mountains and is connected to the city’s pathway system. Huntington Hills is ranked in the top 10 in the playground, recreation facilities, school and library categories while also being home to 15 schools, a vast outdoor playground and of course the Huntington Hills Community Association. 

HHCA encourages people to purchase a membership as it is a great way to support your community. The facility has seen a number of loyal and dedicated volunteers come through the building and truly believe that volunteers are the heart and soul of our community. 

In 2016 renovated the existing Hall and turned it into a mid sized Gymnasium with a renewal of the existing surrounding areas as well as an addition to the side of a front entrance/welcome area. This $2.2 million project now serves existing users and groups at HHCA and will continue to attract others. Funding came from the City and Provincial levels.
