The Government of Saskatchewan is trying to make parks more barrier-free.
$18.1 million is being spent on improvements including more accessible trails and pathways, wheelchair accessible picnic sites and campsites within campgrounds, as well as public facilities with accessible washrooms, showers, front desk reception areas and ramps. A new standard service centre design has also been developed that includes universally-accessible family change rooms and washrooms to accommodate visitors with limited mobility and their caregivers.
In addition, new play structure installations that are barrier-free and provide sensory experiences for children will be integrated into some playgrounds. The addition of natural playgrounds in parks will include some accessible routes, and grading that will allow play experiences to be reached by wheelchair.
Sask Parks has fourteen beach wheelchairs across the province that can be reserved in advance at any provincial park and borrowed by visitors free of charge.
