Reviews of Kiwanis Memorial Park (Tourist Attraction)

Ashish Tiwari

Was there for the taste of Saskatchewan. Awsome location for such events. This weekend was full of fun events including taste, 3x3 basketball, jetski races and live music bands.

Had a good time with my daughters and my granddaughter

Mohammadreza Shafieizad

Be careful about mosquitos!

Belinda Morris

Loved it!

Jamie Shaw

Nice in the summer. Good for afternoon walks or breaks from work.

Greg Abramoff

Really great downtown park. The river is close, you can see the boats pulling wake boarders and people on seadoos in the summer. The taste of sask is here with tons of local food and music. The ice cream bus is a minute walk away and in the summer when the jazz festival is on you can hear the music from the delta bessborough.

James Gray

Very nice park with beautiful walking and sitting areas and fun events such as the recent taste of sask. That said when those events are going on parking is a bit of an issue

Des G

I do like this park but the no dog thing? Really? See if you can find the commemorative tree!

Kiwanis Memorial Park is located along the South Saskatchewan River Bank and the Meewasin Trail in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. In the summer this park is very busy with people being active walking cycling running or just enjoying the beauty of the views of the river along the Meewasin Trail. This park also hosts many of the City Of Saskatoon’s summer events such as the Jazz Festival and Taste of Saskatchewan. In the winter it is much quieter with activity but is still just as beautiful. Once the park has enough snow and the weather is cool enough this park gets a lot of attention with people of all ages skating on the rink next to the Historic Bessborough Hotel. At night the tree in the middle of the rink is lit up with chromes lights and stay up until the rink closes for the season. Kiwanis Park is a tribute to Saskatoon’s war veterans and will come across some historic landmarks such as the Vimy Memorial Bandshell hone ring veterans from world war 1, a large water fountain to honour those who fought in world war 2 and more.

Ashleigh Mattern

One of my favorite parks in the city! Beautiful in every season, and located in the heart of the city.

It felt safe to be at the park. Everyone was keeping their distance. It was nice watching the river and the boats drive by. Lots of benches to sit on and shades too. It was a perfect day.

Екатерина Соловьева

Rich Embury

When in Saskatoon, you must take a walk through Kiwanis Park and the nearby Meewasin trails, Vimy Memorial monument and much more. All in view of the glorious South Saskatchewan River and the iconic Bessborough Hotel!

Salem “Magic Prince” B

I like taking my rottie for his long walks and going down by the river bed and playing with him. I think they should add a few more garbage cans as it seems people can't take them the extra 15 feet to get up from a bench to put their garbage away. Put up no litrering signs because it seems people are terrible.

Alejandra Ov

Amazing for riding your bike by the river

Niels Koehncke

Great place for a picnic with the red bus ice cream store nearby

Friendly faces, an old guy shared a bottle of home brew.

Hamid Khodabandehloo

Next to the Saskatchewan River and home to many geese all around the year! Many of city festivals such as Taste of Saskatchewan and the global village are held close to here. Very beautiful sceneries all the time. In summer and spring, it is always green and sunny which makes it suitable for an afternoon walking or jogging. In fall it is full of colors and leaves! Winter is pure white with a view of a partially iced river.

Matt Wolsfeld

Excellent Riverside park perfect for all sorts of things. One of Saskatoon's best parks.

Deb Westfield

So I read on FB how do u feel downtown. Well knock on wood. I grew up here, and never had any problems. I'm street smart. If I see a bunch of people look shady or just feel not right I go another way. Or just don't be by yourself at night. I trust my city. It was beautiful down by the river. Calm morning before it gets way to hot out.

Johnny SL

Nice walking around here but sometimes the grass lights on fire

LaChinSun

Perfect place for unwinding..

The Wandering Triathlete (Dustin Baerg)

Rod O'Leary

Still nice to visit in the winter Great for photo's

Mona Shehzad

This is a beautiful park in downtown. Lovely walk near the bridge.

Lauren Jarvis

One of the nicer parks located along the river. Can’t go wrong with a nice walk in the area along Spadina! Events held in the park are generally good in my opinion. Parking is rough since our downtown lacks any kind of proper parking system/convenience.

Kristy Suik

This Park is very popular with most locals. It's the scene of many festivals like Childrens Festival, Jazz Festival, Taste of Saskatchewan and many other local celebrations. You'll often see people bicycling, walking pets and sitting on benches taking in the view of the river. Even in the dead of winter you can find many people enjoying all the park has to offer. The vimy memorial gazebo is host to many musical guests and a great spot for family photography. Because this park is alpng the Meewasin Trail you won't be disappointed.

Kristen Acoose

It's beautiful

Kasandra S.

Open area with a fountain. A few benches scattered around, with views of the river. Not usually busy.

Hoon Kim

It is a cozy park, but not much special.

Rachael Richardson

Beautiful place to relax

Sebastian Kluth

Kiwanis Memorial Park is a beautiful park right next to the South Saskatchewan River with a stunning memorial for those who died in Vimy.

Phoenix Trew

The park it is very pretty and great places to take nice pictures

eric gamble

It's a really nice place to sit and walk around. The Kiwanis Memorial park has been downtown for as long as I can remember. Being a young kid and playing around here was so much fun. I have seen weddings , church bands, graduations and supporting families here at this spot. I guess I need to read up on the history of the little white band stand by the bessborough hotel...

RYAN Lozinsky

Its a good place to chill

Anirban Chaudhury

So fun seeing those gooses.

Sudhir Suryavanshi (Baujee)

Lovely. Spend time when you can. Very nice.

Cody Sharpe

Grounds are well kept and there are plenty of benches. No picnic tables or restrooms though; the one under the Vimy bandstand is permanently closed, so you'll have to go downriver to the outdoor rink shelter.

Carey Mamer

Loved it beautiful

yafeng Li

Abbie Reuss

Luz Cerda (DominicanosEnSaskatchewan)

Excellent place to go for a walk on spring and summer. Lots of birds to see. You should go and enjoy the season and have a nice walk along the river.

James Kan

Always the best location for huge number of events holds Whatever food festival or music festival are all good in this huge area park This year my parents came to visit me, and we walk around this comfortable green park before the Food Festival. It is quite and peace, you won’t feel hot during the summer time. Tall trees and fancy leaves cover the most of area in this park, sunshine does not easy plate on the ground. It is great Saskatoon government has built good place for people who live in here better.

Jessica DeWitt

I lived a block from Kiwanis for six years. It was a privilege to live near one of Saskatoon’s keystone parks. It is, however, one of the busiest spots in the city and the center of many events and activities, so if you’re looking for solitude, go to another spot.

Noryb Ecnirp

Love being outside in beautiful places like this.

Mandeep Singh Dhami

Full of greenery, good place for water sports, scenic view of South Saskatchewan river

Stanley Phelan

Took my family and my little dog down by the river for a walk and was so relaxing. Not to many people. Quite and extremely peaceful. Better to get out and enjoy these moments before the harsh cold winter comes again :)

Zia S.

Nice park places to bike, cook (bbq) and relax especially in summer when ur with Canada geese around you ????????????????

Taste Saskatchewan was wonderful. Good food and good music.

Derek Bader

Nice downtown park with lots of big old trees along the riverbank.

Elizabeth Lorenzo

Trailed the area on my visit to Saskatoon. It was beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. Just be careful with all the ice patches in the winter, but to be expected. It’s a nice pace away from the city area, yet right next to it.

Aiden Tamen

Very cute and green park

James Taylor

Awesome place to walk.

Terence Maton

Taste of Saskatchewan had lots of choice but the prices seemed a bit on the high side. Pop-up Covid-19 clinic a great idea.

Joel Usick

This is a lovely spot in Saskatoon to visit!

Matt Novack

Gorgeous area in downtown Saskatoon. It's centrally located. Lively. Great people watching. Lots of grass space. Lots of benches. I fondly remember making a day of going shopping in the downtown, stop and have some drinks at a few places, get a bite to eat and carry it out down to this park. Sit and watch the river go by.

Rory Hebb

That smell looses one star. Must be the Bez

Donna Riemer

Good food good music for taste of Saskatchewan

James Leonew

Very nice park for the Taste of Saskatchewan event. Lots of space and trees. My only issue with this area is the parking. With TOS and a 3 on 3 basketball tournament going on close by, the parking is a nightmare. The food and entertainment were great! Always a great time had by my family. We love to eat, so this is perfect for us ????

MrToast72

Nice place in Saskatoon Being located near downtown Saskatoon and just beside the river, the park represents the mixture of urban and nature landmark. Good for walking, jogging, biking, or skating. I enjoy walking there in the evening during summer, spring and fall (not winter)

Ricki-Jean , Popadynec

Good music at Taste..

Aman Samra

Easy trail by the river with a food joints and splash pads.

Hanya Zacharko

Always beautiful around Kiwanis Park at a venue that should probably be moved to an area where parking would be more accessible especially for a person who is disabled. We thoroughly enjoyed the music that played during lunch hour which was awesome. The food I guess was okay. I thought there would be more venues. Food quality was ok and agree with the comment about food not being hot enough.
