3 Beautiful Communities

Okotoks has a remarkable way of complimenting every lifestyle.

Whether it be enjoying the abundant green space, pathways and playgrounds in D’Arcy or watching your children ride their bikes around the pond in Wedderburn, both communities exhibit tremendous views of the mountains. Offering a small town feel, with a friendly greeting waiting for you on every corner but also established amenities including a recreation centre and grocery store a few steps away.

Ranchers’ Rise on the East side of Okotoks, with quick access to the highway residents enjoy their own soccer pitch and one of Okotoks’ largest baseball diamonds overlooking the wetlands.
