If you live in Saskatoon, upgrades may be coming to a park near you.

Thirteen neighbourhood parks are slated for makeovers as part of the City’s Park Upgrade Program.

Enhancement can include new pathways, lighting, irrigation, drainage, tree planting or items like benches, picnic tables and play structures.

The City of Saskatoon says the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund, not only allows for standard park upgrades but will also aid in the installation of two Food Forest Demonstration Sites as well as enhanced irrigation and naturalization improvements at Boughton and Leif Erickson Parks.

Portions of the parks will be closed during construction. A list of parks which will see improvement this year is in our online story.

Locations undergoing enhancements in 2024 include:
Boughton Park
Buena Vista Park
Forest Grove Linkage
Forestry Farm Linkage
John Avant Park
Leif Erickson Park
Marriott Park
Parc Canada
Parkridge Park
Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area
Robert Hunter West Park
Sifton Park
TJ Quigley Park
