McKenzie Lake’s community association offers a variety of programs to residents. Scouting programs, community based youth baseball, soccer and hockey programs, dance classes, martial arts, exercise classes, church group, Kumon math and drop in men’s basketball are just a few of the programs that are offered through the community association. Preschool and after school programs are also offered. One of McKenzie Lake’s more innovative programs is a youth justice council that seeks to give young offenders a second chance. The community’s outdoor skating rink is popular during winter months, as are special events such as jellybean dances, New Year’s and Children’s Christmas parties. It should be noted that not all residents in the community boundaries have access to the lake. The lake access boundary is different than the community boundary and ends just south of the Mountain Park school property line. The lake is run by the McKenzie Lake Resident Association a separately incorporated non-profit association.
McKenzie Lake is conveniently located near major roadways (the Deerfoot and Marquis of Lorne Trail). Several golf courses, Fish Creek Park and the popular McKenzie Lake are also in the area.

Property Details
Description
This outstanding, exceptionally well-maintained home offers an ideal blend of comfort, style, and everyday functionality in one of the area’s most desirable four-season lake communities—and includes the added peace of mind of having no Poly-B plumbing. Thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for over the years, the home is perfectly positioned on a south-facing lot, allowing natural light to fill the main living spaces throughout the day. Its welcoming curb appeal is enhanced by a stucco exterior, shake shingles, and mature landscaping that creates warmth from the very first look. Inside, a rich hardwood entry sets the tone for the quality found throughout the home. The main floor features a beautifully updated maple kitchen, professionally refaced by Cabinet Doctor, complete with granite countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and solid wood drawers—elevating both practicality and style. The bright nook provides a cozy spot for morning coffee, while the adjoining family room offers an inviting gathering space with hardwood flooring, a gas fireplace with custom tiled surround, and open sightlines that make the main level feel warm and connected. At the front of the home, a cozy living room with a bay window creates a bright, relaxing area for reading or conversation. This space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, designed to accommodate both intimate dinners and larger celebrations. Thoughtful built-in storage enhances convenience without compromising elegance. Vinyl windows throughout improve comfort, efficiency, and longevity. Practicality shines on the main floor: a tiled mudroom off the heated double attached garage ensures easy cleanup in all seasons, the main-floor washer and dryer simplify daily routines, and a stylish 2-piece bathroom—part of the 2024 renovation—adds a modern touch. A well-situated main-floor office provides privacy for work or study while remaining connected to the activity of the home. The outdoor living experience is exceptional. In 2008, a large heated swimming pool (30' x 13' x 16' x 18') was installed, transforming the backyard into a private retreat enjoyed 6–7 months of the year. A spacious deck and patio offer multiple zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining, making the backyard feel like a true extension of the home. The fully finished basement adds tremendous versatility with two good-sized bedrooms, a well-appointed 3-piece bathroom, a generous recreation room for movies, games, or workouts, additional storage, and a utility room with a newer hot water tank (2018). Upstairs, a curved staircase with brand-new carpet (2024) leads to three inviting bedrooms, each with ceiling fans for year-round comfort. A bright 5-piece main bathroom provides ample storage and functionality. The rear primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and a stunning, professionally renovated 5-piece ensuite (2024) featuring a soaker tub, tiled glass shower, and a large storage vanity
