Soccer is Back!

Springtime in Calgary brings bright sunshine, clear blue skies, and lots of little legs kicking soccer balls across our green fields! Join in on spring soccer so your kids stay active and make friends all at the same time!

Heritage Soccer is a recreational soccer league for children aged 3 to 12 from the communities of CKE, Haysboro, Kingsland, Fairview, Mayfair, Bel Aire, Southwood and Meadowlark Park.

The league will run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from May 4 to June 24, 2021 on Chinook Park School fields.

Online Registration:
The last day to register for soccer is April 7.  If our soccer season is cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions prior to April 7th, a full refund will be given less the TeamSnap and credit card fees.

Each child can choose one friend and that friend must reciprocate on their register form.

This action packed sport combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping-pong. Players will use solid paddles and a wiffle-like ball, while playing on a badminton-sized court. It is a low impact, high energy sport and the rules are very easy to learn.

A CKE Membership and Court Access Fee are required to access the Courts.  CKE Courts are for the enjoyment of our residents but we will be allowed a limited number of non-residents to purchase access. See CKE Courts Access. 

Please note:  If you have pickleball lessons or adult tennis lessons,  you are not required to purchase the Court Access fee

The CKE Community Garden is a wonderful asset to the Community, providing rich, diverse green space next to the Community Hall. The CKE Community Garden rents out half beds (4’ x 4’) to members of the community for $35 per year + a current community membership. Fees charged go back into the garden to be used for supplies, plants, and hosting educational events. If you are interested in renting a plot for spring 2022, or just want to get involved, please send a note to the Sonja Johnson at sonja_johnson20@hotmail.com.

The CKE Skatespot offers a safe and active social space for people of all ages to connect with others, exercise in, and practice their skill! Obstacles include a quarter pipe, curved ledge, ledge/manny pad with wedge, flatbar with landscape flat gap, bank, and a flat ledge.

To help keep the park safe and clean, a locked supply box equipped with cleaning and maintenance supplies is located at the park. This initiative relies on “key holders” from the skate community to help keep the park clean and free of debris. If you are interested in being a key holder, please contact Calgary Association of Skateboarding Enthusiasts (CASE) – chair@calgaryskateboarding.com.

This park is owned and operated by The City of Calgary. Please contact the City of Calgary at 3-1-1 with any issues, concerns, or questions.
