Crystal Meadows is a small place in Alberta, Canada. It is called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Parkland County.
Crystal Meadows is also known as a "designated place" by Statistics Canada. This means the government keeps track of its population and other facts, even though it's not a formal town. You can find Crystal Meadows on the east side of Range Road 21, just a short distance south of Highway 16.
