Evergreen is named after a heritage stand of 50-year-old Scots pine trees in the southeast corner of the community. This exceptional community brings together a variety of housing choices and commercial opportunities in a beautiful setting surrounded by parks, 9km of looping trails, and gathering spaces.

Forever Green

Unique in its location, Evergreen is surrounded by nature. To the west is the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. Land located to the east and south is dedicated to agricultural research. To the north along Fedoruk Drive is the Northeast Swale, a natural prairie landscape within City limits that exhibits one of the most unique ecosystems in the world as it features some of the last Plains Rough Fescue (native prairie grasses) and is a natural wildlife corridor to the South Saskatchewan River. Parks, trails, and gathering spaces offer diversions for each season. With nature all around, it's easy to take the scenic route through the community.

Bridging Two Sides

The "Green Bridge" links the east and west sides of Evergreen and stretches over the main arterial road, McOrmond Drive. The bridge is an open air, fully landscaped continuation of the linear trail network that winds through the community. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the bridge to safely access the two new elementary schools, Core Park and commercial on the west side of Evergreen, or stroll to the District Village Commercial being developed on the east side of the community.

Where All Trails Meet

Evergreen is connected by an extensive park and looping trail system. Stroll, jog, run or pedal the entire community at your leisure. Trails meet at two locations. The first is the centrally located core park (Funk Park), located next to two new elementary schools (Sylvia Fedoruk and St. Nicholas) and community daycare centre. The second is the village square, a central meeting place for the community with medical clinics, dental clinic, fitness, and restaurants conveniently located close to home.

Entertainment in the Outdoors

Located at the center of Evergreen, a spacious Amphitheatre stands as the cornerstone of the community's village square. Flanked by lush prairie gardens, the outdoor venue is a hub for activity. The amphitheatre offers a unique setting for performances, fitness and community gatherings where residents can indulge in commercial, social and entertainment activities.

Evergreen's amphitheatre can be booked by the public. To make a reservation, call the City of Saskatoon Allocations at 306-975-3366.
