The Hamptons is located on the northwest edge of Calgary. It is situated between Stoney Trail and Country Hills Boulevard to the north and south respectively, and between Shaganappi Trail and Sarcee Trail to the east and west. The land in the area is that of a slightly rolling upland plateau. This elevation results in greater wind exposure. Establishment of The Hamptons began in 1990. The community offers access to a paved Olympic size hockey rink with heated and sheltered bleachers, a kiddie rink, tennis courts and practice court, the paved bike path system, several sports fields, and ball diamonds and a playground. There is a public school in the area.
