AF14 -108

City of Saskatoon is undertaking repair work to the Isinger Park children’s playground, located in Phase II at River Landing between Avenues B and C. The playground will be fenced off and closed for approximately one week as crews make repairs to the playground surface and restrict activity to allow time for the repair work to cure. It is anticipated that the playground will be reopened by October 15 barring any unforeseen circumstances and weather permitting. 

Isinger Park contains tot and intermediate play structures, benches, trees and shrubs, lit pathways, and irrigated turf.  We apologize for any inconvenience while crews work to complete this work while the weather holds, to ensure a smooth and safe playground surface area
