Framed by a picturesque walking bridge on the south, and the historical train bridge on the north, the panoramic view of the South Saskatchewan River is the setting for our beautiful park.
Our 100-acre park has extensive hiking trails, spacious campsites, canoe & kayak river access, playgrounds, concession, and an amazing 9-hole, grass green golf course. We also now offer 3 cabins for rent in our group camping area!
We also regularly host community events such as outdoor markets, story-book trails, canoe trips, as well as outdoor movies and music for everyone to enjoy!
Our park is within the town of Outlook, so we are fortunate to have access to all the local services including a medical clinic, hospital, pharmacy, fire department, and an RCMP detachment.
As for shopping, Outlook offers a great selection, ranging from grocery, liquor & hardware stores to boutiques and gift shops, as well as 2 local greenhouses! We also have lots of tasty options for dining or take-out... for those days cooking just isn't in the cards!

The area has been a recreational site since World War I, and became a designated park in 1922. The natural terrain along the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River includes some of the oldest stands of elm trees, confirmed by the Canadian Forestry Service to be over 150 years old.
The site became a Regional Park in 1961. In 1971 a nine-hole golf course was constructed along the scenic east bank of the South Saskatchewan River. In 1984, 26 electrical campsites were added with a washroom/shower facility.
Since that time, there have been many upgrades to the campground, including 30 amp power service, group camping sites, and updated washroom and shower house facilities.
Campsites: Level grass/gravel. Wheelchair accessible washrooms and showers are available.
Once in the town of Outlook, follow the blue signs & turn west onto Progress Ave. Outlook and District Regional Park entry gate is located at the very west end of Progress Ave.

Many of the sites in our park have a great view of the South Saskatchewan, while others are more sheltered and tucked along the riverbank. There are 80 well treed spacious campsites, with 30 Amp & water hookups. Another group of 4 sites with 15 amp power is ideal for tenting. Each site has a pole barbecue and a picnic table. There are 3 modern washroom facilities with showers and flush toilets located throughout the park. A sewage disposal site is available, and all water in the park is potable and provided by the town of Outlook. A large camp kitchen is available for group rentals. Day picnic sites are also available which have picnic tables and pole barbecues.
We also have 3 cabins available for short term rental. The cabins are primitive, but do have power! If renting, you will have to provide your own air mattresses, bedding, coolers, etc.
There are 10 campsites available in a separate area for group camping. Each site is serviced with water and 30 amp power. Sites are located near a washroom facility. There is also a Camp Kitchen available for half day or full day rentals.
The nine hole golf course features irrigated grass greens and fairways. The scenic course along the riverbank is shaded by trees and provides a challenge to any level of golfer.

We are also fortunate to be surrounded by some great fishing! You can take advantage of the walleye and jackfish found in the river, or head over to the Broderick reservoir and try your luck there. Lake Diefenbaker is also nearby, and is home to many species of fish.
Six kms of hiking trails including the old traffic bridge (lovingly referred to as B.O.B or Big Orange Bridge) which spans the South Saskatchewan River are part of the Trans Canada Trail. These well maintained trails allow a gorgeous panoramic view of the river. Hikers and bikers are welcome to enjoy the shade of a variety of trees and to watch for signs of the many types of wildlife that make their home in the park. Numerous lookouts along the riverbank and the Trans Canada Trail in the park provide a view of thousands of cranes and geese landing on the river.
