People planned COMMUNITY
Over the last six years, Douglas Developments has been designing and building the Waterford Community located in the southwest corner of Chestermere. The community consists of three-quarter sections totalling 184 acres and is part of the Waterbridge Master Area Structure Plan (MASP). The area has a rich history and has been used primarily for agriculture, with the surrounding area consisting of non-native grassland, natural features, and multiple wetlands.
The vision for Waterford builds on the City of Chestermere’s best features. “Alberta’s Oasis” – a year-round lake-living resort, offers all the amenities of a weekend or summer getaway, right in the comfort of the community.
WaterCOMMUNITY
Chestermere lake offers unlimited opportunities for boating, wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming during peak seasons. Motorized boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats are all welcomed in the area.
The lake is home to the prestigious Chestermere Yacht Club, where members can go sailing, spend time on the beach, or BBQ. During the winter, the lake is perfect for ice skating or snowmobiling. Other attractions include the Westland Bird Sanctuary, walking paths, and 18-hole golf – all within a short distance from the community.
