Nature lovers and those looking for a bit of fresh air can take advantage of Moose Jaw’s many beautiful green spaces. Of course, these areas offer lots for kids to do, too. Moose Jaw’s most notable park is Crescent Park, located in the heart of the city’s downtown. The park’s serene beauty and walking paths are a great attraction. It is also home to the Moose Jaw Public Library and the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery. The park includes a splash park, playground, and the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool. Crescent Park is a perfect spot for a picnic. Don’t forget to feed the ducks! There are lots of neighbourhood parks scattered across the city. Many of these parks include playground equipment that will keep kids of all ages busy. Some of these parks also feature skating rinks in the winter. There are four spray parks in Moose Jaw, which you can find at Crescent Park, Elgin Park just off Eighth Avenue NW, East End Park on Ninth and Ominica St. East, and the 1996 Summer Games Park on 16th Avenue SW. Wakamow is located in the city’s river valley. There you will find picnic areas, canoes and kayaks for rent, a skating oval, playgrounds, and well-manicured trails that allow Moose Javians to enjoy the outdoors all year round. There are other types of “parks” that offer fun activities. This includes the Bike Skills Park, located on the 1200 block of High St. West, next to YaraCentre, and the skateboard park on McDonald Street just off Ninth Avenue NW. All users must wear a helmet at the Bike Skills Park, which is not supervised. The park is closed at dusk each day. The lights at the skateboard park are on from 7 to 10:30 p.m. each day. The skateboard park is also unsupervised; children under 10 should be accompanied by a parent. Looking to get your pooch a bit of exercise? Please note that some parks, like Crescent Park and Elgin Park, do not allow dogs. You can, however, take your furry friends to the city’s dog park (located along the 1500 block of High St. West, just off Thatcher Drive). There is a separate area for large and small dogs. The park is open year round. Running water is available from approximately late May to early September, depending on the weather. However you want to enjoy the great outdoors, there are lots of parks and playgrounds to keep you busy! NOTE: Parks that have a paddling pool or spray park are marked with an asterisk (*). Parks without a playground are marked with a carat (^). 64 2021 ExploreMooseJaw.com
