Lake Bonavista – Calgary’s Premier Lake Community
Developed in 1967, Lake Bonavista is more than just a neighborhood – it’s a lifestyle
As Calgary's first man-made lake community, it blends natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and urban convenience in a truly unique way. At the heart of the community lies the picturesque Lake Bonavista, where residents can enjoy year-round activities like swimming, fishing, boating, skating, and relaxing with lakeside picnics.
Known for its close-knit, active community, Lake Bonavista featuring local events, festivals, and activities that bring neighbours together, making it easy for new residents to feel at home. The community association hosts programs for all ages, including fitness classes and sports leagues to cultural and social events. Whether you're raising a family, enjoying retirement, or seeking a vibrant community, Lake Bonavista has something for everyone.
Families are especially drawn to Lake Bonavista for its proximity to high-quality schools, including Lake Bonavista School and St. Boniface School. Convenient access to grocery stores, shopping centers, healthcare services, and restaurants makes day-to-day living a breeze. Southcentre Mall, just a short drive away, offers an array of retail options, while nearby Fish Creek Provincial Park provides the perfect escape into nature with its extensive trails and picnic spots.
Lake Bonavista stands out not only for its recreational lake but also for its beautiful tree-lined streets and well-maintained homes. The housing options in the area are diverse, ranging from charming bungalows to upscale lakefront properties, making it appealing to a variety of homeowners. Its ideal location offers quick access to major routes like Macleod Trail and Deerfoot Trail, making commuting to other parts of Calgary fast and convenient.
We especially like going to the Lake House restaurant for special occasions!
