Parkland was annexed by Calgary in 1961, developed from 1974, and named for its location beside Fish Creek Provincial Park. Most homes are detached, many of them 1970s bungalows and split-levels, with some semi-detached homes and townhouses. Residents also own Park 96, a private recreation park funded by an annual household levy.

Safety & crime data
Rather than give an opinion, I'd point you to the official numbers. Calgary Police Service publishes crime and disorder statistics by community, so you can see Parkland's figures and compare them with other areas yourself.
