Project Status

Over the past year, the City has been working closely with project partners, internal departments, external groups and the community to design a concept plan for Linklater Park that reflects the needs of Aspen Ridge residents. Construction of the park is scheduled to begin in Fall 2025.

How Can You Get Involved?  

What is the Project About?

Spanning over 6.8 hectacres, the core neighbourhood park in Aspen Ridge has been named after Maria Linklater and her grandson, Michael Linklater, both prominent members of the Saskatoon community with Cree heritage from the Thunderchild First Nation. (For more information on the park naming process, refer Naming Saskatoon.)

Over the past year, the City has been designing a concept plan for Linklater Park. Highlights of the design include:

• A vibrant park plaza for socializing and enjoying activities
• Shared pathways with pump passing lanes and activity bulb-outs
• A ‘play wharf’ featuring unique play opportunities for children of all ages and abilities
• Multi-purpose sports fields and a ball diamond
• 3x3 basketball court
• Spray pad
• Toboggan hill
• Bocce court
• Teaching garden and amphitheatre
• Group seating and picnic areas
• Spaces for a future community rink and garden
• . . . and much more!

Construction of the park is scheduled to begin in Fall 2025.
