The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association has selected Prince Albert’s Rotary Trail as their 2020 Parks and Open Space Award recipient. The award recognizes excellence in the planning, design and development of a private or public park or open space in Saskatchewan.

Mayor Greg Dionne says, “The completion of the Rotary Trail last year was a major milestone for our community.” He calls it an incredibly popular free and accessible recreation.

The project was started in 2001 with the Rotary Club joining as the main sponsor and steward of the Trail. The 10 foot-wide paved trail now encompasses the city after it was completed in October, 2019.

The Parks and Open Space Award is part of the SPRA’s RECognition Program that pays tribute to those individuals and communities who have made outstanding and extraordinary contributions to the parks and recreation industry in Saskatchewan.
