With a population of 9,000 residents, Silver Springs is bounded to the north by Crowchild Trail, to the east by Sarcee Trail, to the south by Bow River, and to the west by Nose Hill Drive. The community benefits from its’ proximity to the Silver Springs golf course found in the eastern part of the neighborhood as well as the Bowmont Natural Area which is situated just south of Silver Springs.
