National parks






Provincial parks


The federal government transferred control of natural resources to the western provinces in 1930 with the Natural Resources Acts. At that time, the Saskatchewan government set up its own Department of Natural Resources. In an attempt to get people working and to encourage tourism during the Great Depression, several projects were set up by the government, including setting up a provincial park system in 1931. The founding parks include Cypress Hills, Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Moose Mountain, Katepwa Point, and Little Manitou. Greenwater Lake was added in 1932. Two more parks were added by the end of the 1930s and Little Manitou ceased to be a provincial park in 1956 and in 1962, it became a regional park.
The list of parks, and their types, come from The Parks Act.




Regional parks


Most Regional Parks are established as per the Regional Parks Act. Virtually all of the regional parks in Saskatchewan are affiliated with the Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association (SRPA). The SPRA supports the parks by assisting with research, education, marketing, etc.
A yearly park pass purchased at any SRPA park also grants access to all other SRPA parks.
The Meewasin Valley Authority Act, the Wakamow Valley Authority Act, and the Provincial Capital Commission Act also give authority to create regional parks.
The following is a list of all the regional parks:
