Park / Area History
The area had 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 new electrical campsites were added with a washroom/shower facility.
From 2000 through 2017 there have been many upgrades to the campground, including 30 amp power service, group camping sites, and updated washroom and shower house facilities.
