The Elbow Park Residents Association leases the clubhouse and park from the City of Calgary. Although the Board is 100% volunteer run, we have expenses that include electricity, water, landscaping, rink flooding, and clubhouse maintenance.

EPRA is funded through membership fees, grants, donations, fundraising, sponsorships and (importantly) volunteer hours to operate and provide services for the community. We are grateful for donations. If you would like to make a donation and receive a tax receipt, please click here.
