The City’s Park Upgrade Program is funding improvements to several parks and playgrounds in Saskatoon this summer to address deficiencies and bring them up to current standards. Enhancements focus on new and improved pathways, lighting, upgraded irrigation and drainage systems, tree planting, picnic tables and play structures.

Portions of these parks and some amenities will be temporarily closed while these changes are occurring.
