Douglasdale and DouglasGlen comprise a large area of the southeast sector of Calgary. The community encompasses both sides of Deerfoot from the Bow River to 130th Avenue SE and includes Douglasdale Estates, DouglasGlen, Douglas Ridge and Douglasdale Meadows as well as the DouglasGlen business park on the east side of the Deerfoot and south of 130th Avenue SE.  The community accommodates approximately 12,000 residents, 4,000 homes and more than 150 businesses!

Through the use of natural topographic features, particularly the Bow River escarpment, many Douglasdale Estate residents enjoy views of the river valley and the Rocky Mountains beyond.  The many recreation opportunities associated with nearby Fish Creek Provincial Park and paved trails are also enjoyed by local residents.  In addition, the Douglasdale Business Park has seen major development in the past few years.

Douglasdale and DouglasGlen are represented by the Douglasdale Estates Community Association (DECA), which is comprised of board members from the community.  Board meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month and are open to all members of DECA.  There is also an Annual General Meeting held in the spring of each year.
