our league
Blackmud Creek Community League
Blackmud Creek Community League (BCCL) was formed in 2006 and includes the neighborhoods of Allard, Blackburne Creek, Blackmud Creek (aka Southbrook), Callaghan, Cashman, Cavanagh, and Richford: league map. A new residential neighbourhoood currently under development called Cavanagh will also be part of BCCL. Our closest neighbour is the Heritage Point Community League.
We’ve made up a one-page fact sheet for sharing: BCCL Fact Sheet.

Public Transit
The Edmonton Transit System Trip Planner utility is a helpful tool for getting where you need to go, on time. The nearest LRT station is Century Park (111th Street & 23rd Avenue). That station now only has limited parking. We recommend using the Park & Ride facility located at the intersection of Ellerslie Road SW and 127th Street instead. Allard and Callaghan are serviced by the #47 and #347 bus routes. Blackburne is serviced by the #48 bus route. Southbrook is serviced by the #49 bus route.
Trails
We have an extensive set of trails along Blackmud Creek, and worked with the City of Edmonton to complete a community walking map for our league and part of the neighbouring league, Heritage Point.
Beware that coyotes live in our area. Keep these safety tips in mind.
