Wascana Centre & Wascana Lake
Wascana Centre
One of North America's largest urban parks, circling a man-made lake and linking the legislature, museums, an art gallery and a university.
Wascana Centre covers about 930 hectares and is centred on Wascana Lake, which was formed by a dam built in the 1880s. The lakeside path is about 5 km long and can be walked or cycled, and you can rent canoes or paddleboards. The park houses the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, a science centre and the University of Regina, as well as a wild goose sanctuary where Canada geese often gather in flocks. Admission is free. In summer, weekend concerts and markets are held here, making it Regina's 'urban living room'.
