Saskatchewan is making its provincial parks more accessible and inclusive.
“Provincial parks are for people of all ages and abilities,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said in a media release. “By identifying and removing barriers throughout the parks system, we are ensuring that all families have the opportunity to get out in nature to explore, play and relax.”
An $18.1-million investment into provincial parks will result in the additions of such features as accessible trails and pathways, wheelchair-accessible picnic sites and campsites within campgrounds, and accessible washrooms, showers and ramps.

Universally accessible family change rooms and washrooms will be built in service centres for visitors with limited mobility and for their caregivers.
New play structures that are barrier-free and provide sensory experiences for children of all abilities will be added at some playgrounds, while other playgrounds will see the addition of accessible routes and grading to allow people in wheelchairs to participate.
The province currently has 14 beach wheelchairs in parks around the province that can be reserved in advance and borrowed free of charge.
