The government of Saskatchewan is detailing some of its new works for the province's parks, with the total amount coming to $14 million.

The expenditure will be for both facility and infrastructure improvements in 2023-24.

"We are always looking at how we can help make our provincial parks more beautiful, welcoming, and accessible for everyone," Parks, Culture, and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. "Investing in our facilities, along with the many activities and events available, gives our visitors so many ways to make lasting memories."

Projects that will be completed this fiscal year include:

  • A new day-use pavilion for Rowan's Ravine offering, sheltered space for group or family gatherings. Pavilions are accessible to both day visitors and overnight campers.
  • New campground service centres at Blackstrap and Makwa Lake Provincial Parks, providing enhanced shower and washroom facilities.
  • Construction of a new Visitor Reception Centre at Crooked Lake Provincial Park to enhance customer service and park operations.

  • Boat Launch replacement at Candle Lake Provincial Park.
  • Major road improvements at Makwa Lake Provincial Park.
  • Ongoing improvements to washrooms, docks, day-use facilities, and signage across multiple parks.

The province also mentioned various projects that are newly completed, such as:

  • A new campground service centre at Duck Mountain Provincial Park, providing enhanced shower and washroom facilities.
  • Electrical service expansion to group campgrounds in Greenwater Lake and Moose Mountain Provincial Parks.
  • Boat launch upgrades at Douglas Provincial Park to improve launching conditions through the summer boating season.
