“Recreation is the cornerstone of complete communities as it has a direct impact on the quality of life, well-being and resiliency of Calgarians,” says Heather Cowie, Manager of Calgary Recreation’s North and East Region. “Having our facilities listed on the PlayCity app aligns with our goal of breaking down social barriers with respect to sport and recreation activities.”
Developed by Calgarian Hafiz Mitha, PlayCity provides an easy way for adults at the same skill level to meet up locally and participate in a variety of sports. “There are so many amazing recreation facilities to check out in Calgary,” says Mitha. “I created the app to help build more diverse, connected and active neighbourhoods. PlayCity is an opportunity to meet new people, try new things and visit new sport facilities.”
The City has recreation and aquatic facilities in every quadrant listed on PlayCity. Users who download the app can connect with like-minded Calgarians to swim, work out and play a variety of sports at these athletic facilities.
The PlayCity mobile app is available to download for free on iTunes and Google Play.
