I think Kingsland would probably meet your objectives pretty well. I lived there for 10 years. It's a relatively quiet neighborhood (considering its proximity to Macleod and Glenmore) and it's pretty easy access to the rest of the city. With a car, you can get pretty much anywhere in the city in less than 20 minutes (except for the far NW).
Depending on where you are in Kingsland, either Chinook or Heritage CTrain stations are a short walk. To get to Quarry Park, you would take Glenmore to 18th Street and you wouldn't even need to go on Deerfoot.
There are other neighborhoods around there that would be good too, but I'd say that anything that's relatively close to Macleod Trail and either Glenmore or Heritage would be your best bet.
