Sunnyside is a community in Calgary, Alberta located on the north side of the Bow River adjacent to Calgary's downtown. Officially Sunnyside is bounded by Center Street on the east and by 10th Street NW on the west. On the north Sunnyside is bounded by M.C. Hugh Bluff Park and on the south by Memorial Drive.[1]
