Program: Depave Paradise
City: Calgary
Year: 2015

In 2015, Green Calgary led a project to transform an old, unused tennis court into a vibrant community garden. The team removed over 170 square metres of asphalt and added 389 native plants to bring new life to the site. The revitalized space now serves as a gathering place for the community while supporting local biodiversity and managing stormwater naturally.

A group of volunteers stands together at the depaving site of an old tennis court, surrounded by broken pieces of asphalt.
Three volunteers plant trees and prepare soil at the future community garden. Buckets, tools, and young plants are spread around the site, with a fence and park in the background.
