Holliston

Holliston is a popular and mature neighbourhood found in southeast Saskatoon with a population of almost 3,800 residents. This community offers a fairly even number of both single-family detached homes and multi-family condominiums, with an average home price of just over $338,000.

The land where Holliston now exists was annexed in the period between 1911 and 1919. On a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, the land was divided into several parcels, with names such as Nutana Hill, University Homes, Nutana Park and University Park. The area was not actively developed until after World War II, with home construction at its peak from 1946 until 1970 Holliston School was built in 1956.

Holliston is located within the Nutana Suburban Development Area. It is bounded by 8th Street to the north, Preston Avenue to the east, Isabella and Adelaide Streets to the south, and Wiggins and Cumberland Avenues to the west. Louise Avenue, a collector road, roughly bisects the neighbourhood from north to south. Taylor Street, an arterial road, divides the neighbourhood into a northern two-thirds part and a southern one-third part. Streets are laid out in both traditional grid and modern curved patterns. Streets are named after early pioneers from the Saskatoon area.

George Ward Pool is a public swimming pool that operates during the summer months. It opened on July 29, 1965, and was named after George Ward, a longtime administrator, official and organizer of sports programs in Saskatchewan.

The Holliston Community Association serves their neighbourhood as well as the east part of the Haultain neighbourhood. It operates programs including sports for children/youth and fitness, recreation and leisure for all ages.
