The Battlefords

The Battlefords Provincial Park, established in 1927 as one of Saskatchewan's oldest parks, encompasses 35 square kilometres along the North Saskatchewan River valley near the historic communities of Battleford and North Battleford. The park preserves a landscape of river valley forests, rolling hills, and prairie grasslands that has been significant to Indigenous peoples and European settlers alike. Its location near the confluence of the Battle River and North Saskatchewan River has made this area an important gathering place and strategic location for thousands of years.
