Shaganappi Point[1] (formerly 26th Street S.W.)[2] is the second station for the new West LRT line in Calgary, Alberta. It is located in the median of Bow Trail, just west of 26th St. S.W., 3km West of the 7 Avenue & 9 Street SW Interlocking. It opened for revenue service on December 10, 2012.[3][4][5][6] A preview service from the station occurred on December 8, 2012.[7] The station serves the communities of Shaganappi, West Sunalta and West Scarboro. It does not have a Park and Ride lot.

The station has side-loading platforms accessed by ramps from the intersection of Bow Trail and 26 Street SW immediately east. There are no stairs at this station.

The 27-hole Shaganappi Point Golf Course is located beside this station.

It has been reported that the Kerby Centre (a major drop-in centre for seniors) will be relocated to a location beside this LRT station by 2017,[8] from its current location in downtown Calgary.
