Tuxedo community drainage improvements
Construction updates - Spring/Summer 2026
Construction for the storm pond is complete with exception of some minor touch-up work we will complete this summer.
In early June, we will be installing a three-slide structure which will take about two weeks. The playground will remain open when crews are installing the slides. Please see the images below which shows what the new structure will look like.
About this project
The City's Community Drainage Improvements Program works to reduce overland flooding in areas throughout Calgary.
Drainage studies were undertaken to identify solutions for communities frequently affected by flooding due to extreme rainfall. These solutions can include adding additional storm drainage pipes, increasing the size of pipes, and adding wet or dry storm ponds to help manage stormwater.
In recent years, Tuxedo Park has experienced a high number of heavy rainfall events causing flooding. Once upgrades are complete the likelihood of a rain event overwhelming the local storm system will be greatly reduced.
