DOVER

Developed in 1970 and named for environmentalist Mary Dover, Dover is an eastern community bounded by the CNR Mainline, Peigan Trail, and 26 Avenue SE. Dover is close to major transport routes, such as Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail, and offers recreational opportunities in the nearby Bow River Valley. 

There are several parks in the area, including Dover's claim to fame, Valleyview Regional Park. This park is equipped with twelve beach volleyball courts, two soccer fields, a ball diamond, a spray park, and unique playgrounds. Excellent views of the Rocky Mountains and downtown Calgary can also be enjoyed from Dover. 

Schools serving the area include West Dover School and St. Damien School.
