Default Big shortage of major parks/greenspace in Calgary?

Anyone else feel like the city is not providing adequate parks and green space in new communities? I live west of Sarcee, and there is absolutely nothing out here for parks. It's a shame too because there used to be tons of tree coverage out here and none of it is being preserved.

Just based on looking at the following tourism map, it looks like there are large areas of the city that have nothing for major parks. For example, the SE east of Deerfoot, the NE east of Deerfoot, and the SW west of Sarcee.

I'm sorry, but the little green pathway strips and the drainage overflow ponds just don't cut it.
