Community & Facility Services

Community & Facility Services plays a vital role in supporting Elkford’s quality of life by bringing people, places and programs together. From facility operations and recreation programming to parks, green spaces, playgrounds and major community events, this department is responsible for many of the spaces and experiences that help make Elkford feel like home.

Working with local instructors, non-profit organizations and community groups, the department delivers a wide range of programs and supports events that inspire, engage and connect residents. Offerings include gymnastics, karate, yoga, bootcamp, snowshoeing, running classes, tumble tots, Summer Fun, knitting, craft nights and PAL licensing.
