A renewal of an iconic family destination in the heart of Saskatoon.

Completed in collaboration with Space2Place and Local Practice, both of Vancouver, the project created a renewed family destination facility in the heart of the city of Saskatoon.

The scope was also extremely diverse including; art restoration of historic carousel animals, water play features, custom site furnishings, miniature train track, ticket booth and train station, plaza, Ferris wheel, topography, and an adventurous creative playground.
