Curious about what is going on behind the construction fencing at Saskatoon’s most beloved park?  The City of Saskatoon (City) recently launched its second construction update video and invites you to get a sneak peek into the very exciting behind-the scenes work going on to rejuvenate the park as part of Phase One of the Kinsmen Park and Area Master Plan, which includes the addition of notable attractions to the Future Home of PotashCorp Playland. 

To view the video, visit the City‘s webpage at www.saskatoon.ca/go/kinsmenpark or the City’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/saskatooncitynews/.

PCL Construction has been contracted for Phase One of the Kinsmen Park Master Plan which began April 2014, and is anticipated to open in 2015.
