Holiday Park

Planned for development as early as 1911, Holiday Park is a scenic neighbourhood in south-central Saskatoon that prides itself on its strong sense of community. It currently boasts a modest population of almost 1,700 people and an average home price of just over $252,000.

The Holiday Park community was planned out on maps as early as 1911, and development was soon underway. The Saskatoon Tuberculosis Sanitorium was opened on April 15, 1925, and was a landmark of the community, widely visible from the opposite side of the river. After the Sanatorium closed, it was used for various purposes before the building was demolished in the 1990s; its grounds remain in use as a park.

The Bowerman House was a hunting lodge constructed by Allen Bowerman and later used as physician housing for The Saskatoon Sanatorium and can be found in this community.

This neighbourhood is surrounded by a plethora of amenities. To the south is Holiday Park golf course, commanding a championship 18-hole and executive 9-hole course. It is used year-round, providing snow golf and well-groomed cross-country ski trails in the winter months. To the north is the Riversdale Tennis Club and Riversdale Pool, an outdoor swimming pool with water slide features. To the west is the Gordie Howe Management Area with Gordie Howe Bowl, Baseball Diamonds, and Speed Skating Oval. Along the east, the Meewasin Valley Authority provides walking and biking trails along the South Saskatchewan River. Canoeists, water skiers, and kayakers have a wonderful time enjoying the convenience of the Saskatchewan River.
