Sep 6, 2022 | 11:27 AM

The provincial government will invest more than $13 million into its parks, facilities, and infrastructure improvements over the next year.

“Our campers and day-users are always top of mind when it comes to investing in park facility and infrastructure improvements,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “Our government is committed to providing facilities that are safe, accessible and well-maintained so visitors can enjoy their time spent in our parks with family and friends.”

Plans for improvements will include updates to washrooms, docks, day-use facilities, and signs.

Updates during the next fiscal year will include:

• A new campground service centre for both Saskatchewan Landing and Duck Mountain Provincial Parks.
• Updates to electrical services at Greenwater Lake and Moose Mountain Provincial Parks.
• Upgrades to the water system at Saskatchewan Landing and Moose Mountain sites.
• A planned boat launch upgrade at Douglas Provincial Park
• And major road improvements at The Battlefords Provincial Park.

The scheduled upgrades come on the heels of previous projects completed this spring and summer, which included:

• Four day-use pavilions at Echo Valley, Buffalo Pound, Blackstrap and Pike Lake Provincial Parks. Those will provide space for gatherings or events such as weddings. The pavilions are accessible to day visitors and overnight guests.
• A redeveloped campground at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park with 42 electric sites, 18 full-service sites, tenting sites and a service centre.
• A new Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park reception centre which will host interpretive programming and exhibits to serve as a meeting space. There is potential for a future coffee shop at that location as well.

Including this investment, there has been a total of $174 million in funding directed to provincial park improvements since 2007.
