footnotes = Albert Park/Radisson Heights is a residential neighborhood in the south-east quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is bounded to the west by the Bow River and Deerfoot Trail, to the north by Memorial Drive and to the south by International Avenue. The community of Forest Lawn lies to the east.

This community, established in 1910, enjoys ample open space, is well provided with public and separate schools, has good access to shopping and city-wide transportationroutes, and has views of the Bow River Valley, the Downtown and the Canadian Rockies.

However, like many communities in the inner city, it suffers from a number of problems such as shortcutting of nonlocal traffic, residential infill development that is insensitive to the block or the community at large. The community has an area redevelopment plan in place.Cite web| url= http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/planning/pdf/2444_albert_park_arp_part1of2.pdf | title=Albert Park/Radisson Heights Area Redevelopment Plan| author=City of Calgary Planning| year=2005| accessdate= 2007-05-09]

It is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 10 Alderman Andre Chabot. [Cite web| author= Federation of Calgary Communities | url= http://www.calgaryarea.com/se/albertpark/albertpark.htm |title= Albert Park/Radisson Heights Community| accessdate= 2007-05-18]
