COVID-19 Response: Playground/Playstructures Closed Until Further Notice
Effective March 25, City-owned playground structures will close until further notice. This action was necessary because the shared surfaces people touch -especially playground equipment - should not be used right now for the health and safety of you and your family.

Summer Play Programs
FREE! The City of Saskatoon operates 50 weekday and 16 weekend Play Programs at various playground locations throughout Saskatoon in July and August.
Play Program leaders plan and supervise activities for children ages 2 to 12 years, while the adjoining Paddling Pools and Spray Pads offer kid-sized opportunity to cool off and beat the heat. Open rain or shine.

"For every 2 preschoolers under the age of 6, there must be one adult or responsible youth (12 years or older) within arm's length, supervising the preschoolers' water play and activity."
