MILLRISE COMMUNITY
Millrise Community (SW Calgary): established, transit-friendly, and close to Fish Creek
Millrise is a mature southwest Calgary neighbourhood (established in 1982) located south of Fish Creek Provincial Park, bounded roughly by 146 Avenue S, Macleod Trail, Shawnessy Blvd, and James McKevitt Road.
Amenities in and around Millrise
• Fish Creek Provincial Park access nearby for trails and year-round outdoor time.
• C-Train convenience via Fish Creek–Lacombe Station (Red Line/Route 201).
• Shopping and services close by, including the Shawnessy retail district and nearby commercial nodes.
• Recreation options nearby at Cardel Rec South (South Fish Creek complex partners include YMCA and library).
• Outdoor community skating: the Millrise Community Association maintains an outdoor rink/oval in winter.
Connected community
Millrise is positioned for straightforward commuting: quick access to Macleod Trail and nearby arterial roads, plus transit flexibility through Fish Creek–Lacombe Station. It’s a practical choice for buyers who want an established neighbourhood with easy city access.
Neighbourhood feel and community involvement
Millrise has an active community association that supports neighbourhood connection and seasonal recreation (including the volunteer-run ice program). If you like communities where residents actually participate, this is a strong plus.
Schools
Millrise is served by Our Lady of Peace School (Catholic elementary and junior high) within the community. For public/CBE and other program options (including French programs), school designation depends on the specific property address—confirm during your search using the board school-finder tools.
Homes and housing styles
Millrise is predominantly single-family residential, with additional townhome/condo options in pockets—appealing to first-time buyers, move-up families, and downsizers who want a quieter community without being far from amenities and transit.
