Natural Look and Eco-Friendly Environment 

Great care has been taken in the development of Prairie Pointe. The drainage system has been inspired by nature, and it features large ponds that interconnect with smaller creeks. The areas around these waterways and the large, open green spaces all make use of native plants. Your family will love walking along the trails and appreciating the beauty in every season. 

Surprisingly, the homes are also designed to blend in with the surrounding nature. You’ll see this in their natural colour palettes and simple, classic looks. 

Shopping and Dining 

Despite the feeling of living in the countryside, residents of Prairie Pointe are closely connected to the types of shops they need the most. Shopping centres like the Bridgwater Centre and the Linden Ridge Shopping Centre offer easy access to a variety of popular stores, but you can also easily get to stores like Costco and Canadian Tire. Stock up on hot dogs and hamburgers because you’ll want to have a nice barbecue with your family in your new backyard. Best of all, you’re only a few minutes away from IKEA. What better place to pick up some goodies for your new home? 

While you’ll be happy to cook meals in your new kitchen, sometimes you’ll just want a night off. Fortunately, you won’t have to go far to find a great restaurant. This area features family favourites like IHOP, A&W, and Applebees, but you can also pick up some great food at the local restaurants like Bellissimo Restaurant & Lounge or Park Avenue Family Restaurant. 

Recreation 

Families love living in Prairie Pointe because of all the fun opportunities that surround them. The walking trails and playgrounds within the community make it easy to get a bit of fresh air for at least a few minutes a day. Once you get everyone outside, though, it will be hard to get them to come in. 

Dog owners love heading out to the nearby King’s Park or Maple Grove Park. Both have off-leash areas where your dog can get in a great workout. At Fortwhyte Alive, your family can immerse itself in nature and the past, seeing the bison herd, a prairie sod house, and a tipi encampment. It’s fun throughout the seasons, as you can go fishing or paddleboarding when the weather’s nice, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing when the winter comes. 

Kids also love jumping at SkyZone, which is also close to Prairie Pointe. You’ll probably want to plan birthday parties there.
