STARLING AMENITIES NATURE AT YOUR DOORSTEP Parks and trails throughout the Starling community. Experience nature at your doorstep while enjoying the many amenities Starling at Big Lake has to offer. Take a walk through Starling’s 3 Km of multi-use trails and check out the beautiful views and vistas from the lookout Gazebo. Stroll past Horseshoe Creek on your way to the teaching dock and then check out the wildlife on the pond’s natural island. Spend your weekends enjoying Starling’s natural tree filled ravine and 9 hectare environmental reserve, or bike over to the Lois Hole Provincial Park to check out the birds in this globally recognized natural area. Starling’s changing grades allow for a diverse landscape and the opportunity to see Big Lake from your own community. You and your family can be comforted that Starling’s low impact development initiatives, including the two naturalized storm ponds and bioswales, will help to ensure the beautiful environment of Big Lake will remain so for people and nature alike. Last but not least, all Starling lots are located less than 200 metres from community green space so you are always just a stone’s throw away from these impressive natural amenities. Stay home for the weekend. www.starlingatbiglake.com 1 ST.
