A Local’s Guide to Getting Around the City from Trinity Hills

Getting around Calgary’s Trinity Hills never feels like a chore. You could be heading east toward downtown with the skyline in sight or pointing yourself west, where the Rockies start calling your name. It is the kind of place where a quick grocery run can sit alongside a spontaneous evening at WinSport, and both feel equally effortless, all thanks to the driving and transit options near our apartments for rent in SW Calgary.  

Locals know the connectivity of the neighbourhood means you are always a few minutes from somewhere that matters, whether that’s the University of Calgary, a trailhead, or a highway stretching out toward Banff. Understanding how to move through Trinity Hills is part of what makes living here so seamless. Take out a pen and paper and write down your go-to route – there's no shortage of them! 

Seamless Driving in a Strategic Location 

First off: driving. One of the biggest advantages of our communities' home base is how easy it is getting around Calgary.  

The Bowfort Road Interchange connects directly to both the Trans-Canada Highway, also known as 16th Avenue NW, and Sarcee Trail SW. Unlike other neighbourhoods, the connection here is grade-separated, which means you are merging onto major routes without sitting through strings of Calgary traffic lights. 

You can drive from Trinity Hills onto Highway 1 without encountering a single stoplight, making westbound trips toward the mountains feel surprisingly effortless. That “free-flow” design was intentional. The interchange was built to improve traffic movement in west Calgary and remove congestion from what was once a bottleneck. 

Right in the heart of the neighbourhood, Na’a Drive of Calgary is where daily life unfolds. It carries you from your front door at Podium Apartments, Stratus Apartments, or Skyway Apartments, past Save-On-Foods, and onward to spots like Fenyk Coffee and Bar One that anchor the social rhythm of the area. Plus, side streets like Na’a Common SW branch off this main corridor, forming compact residential pockets that ensure getting around Calgary is easy.  

Calgary Transit, Without the Guesswork 

How Route 108 Connects You to the City 

Calgary Transit Route 108, known as the Paskapoo Slopes route, serves Trinity Hills directly. Before we dive into more details, you might want to explore closest stops to you. This route runs approximately every 30 minutes on weekdays, with service operating from early morning until late evening. On weekends, the frequency drops to about every 45 minutes.  

The bus also connects you to Brentwood LRT Station, one of the key transit hubs in northwest Calgary.  

Accessing the C-Train Network from the West Side 

Once at Brentwood Station, the Red Line provides access across the city, including downtown and southern neighbourhoods. This connection gives Trinity Hills residents a clear pathway into Calgary’s broader transit network. 

What Commuters Should Know 

The transportation options here support a flexible lifestyle. Residents often rely on a mix of driving and public transit, using Route 108 when heading toward the LRT or major institutions. 

The system is useful for hybrid workers, students, and healthcare staff, especially those travelling to the University of Calgary or Alberta Children’s Hospital. You’ll reach these in about 10 minutes by car.  

The Green Side of Getting Around Calgary: Walking and Cycling  

The Neighbourhood on Foot 

Despite its hillside setting, the area is designed with many sidewalks, connecting residential buildings with retail, dining, and services. The “urban village” feel is intentional, blending density with accessibility so locals and newcomers alike can move through their day with ease. 

Trail Access Right Outside Your Door 

The immediate access to nature is a Trinity Hills guarantee. The community backs onto the Paskapoo Slopes, a significant natural and cultural landscape on Calgary’s west side. The slopes also carry deep historical importance, with thousands of years of Indigenous use tied to hunting and settlement patterns in the area. 

Cycling Routes That Link to the City 

Cyclists have access to both natural trails and paved routes, all readily mapped online. Need a specific example? Let’s say your destination is Foothills Hospital. From Trinity Hills, you can ride along Na’a Drive to connect with quieter west‑side streets near Canada Olympic Drive, then drop south toward Bow Trail pathways or east toward Bowness and the Bow River pathway before heading north through the University District to safely reach your destination. 

Nearby WinSport adds another layer of excitement, offering downhill biking in summer and skiing in winter, all within minutes of home. 

Key Takeaway: How Getting Around Calgary Really Works 

• Fast, direct driving access via Trans-Canada Highway and Sarcee Trail makes commuting across the city simple and consistent. 

• Na’a Drive keeps daily life connected, linking homes to leisure and dining in just minutes. 

• Major destinations stay close: The University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, and Alberta Children’s Hospital are all a short ride away. 

• Public transportation: Route 108 connects to Brentwood LRT Station, offering a clear path to the C-Train network. 

• The Calgary transit schedule is straightforward to track, with real-time updates and route planning tools. 

Does swift access matter to you? If the answer is yes, moving here is the right choice. You might head to the Foothills Medical Centre in the morning, stop at Save-On-Foods in the afternoon, and finish the day with a ride through the Paskapoo Slopes or an evening at WinSport. The only natural step is to experience this connectivity for yourself. Visit either one of our Deveraux properties in Trinity Hills and see what a convenient modern lifestyle feels like!
