City Park

Living in City Park, Saskatoon

City Park is a friendly, mixed-use character neighbourhood just north of downtown, running along the South Saskatchewan River. It blends older single-family homes, character houses, low-rise apartments and condos with tree-lined streets named after royalty (King, Queen, Princess, Duke and Duchess), and it is home to Saskatoon City Hospital and Kinsmen Park, the city's oldest park. Residents love being able to walk downtown and to the river. If you are searching for City Park homes for sale, the listings above are pulled live from the MLS® and updated regularly.

City Park Quick Facts

Who City Park Is a Great Fit For

City Park is a natural fit for downtown and hospital workers who want a short walk to work, first-time buyers and downsizers looking at condos close to the core, and anyone who wants a character home near the river without the higher prices of some east-side riverfront areas. Investors also like the neighbourhood's strong rental demand.

Location and Commute

Downtown starts just south of 25th Street, so walking or biking to work is easy. Spadina Crescent follows the river along the east side, and 1st Avenue, Idylwyld Drive and the University Bridge connect quickly to the rest of the city and to the University of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon Transit has many routes nearby.

Schools Near City Park

City Park School (820 9th Avenue North), a 1928 heritage building, is a Saskatoon Public Schools site that houses several of the division's specialized programs rather than a regular neighbourhood school. Programs there have included the elementary Montessori program, the FLEX program for student-athletes, musicians and artists, and the Ecoquest Grade 8 outdoor classroom. Public and Catholic elementary schools are close by in neighbouring North Park, and the University of Saskatchewan is just across the river. Programs and school assignments can change, so confirm details with the school division before you buy.

Parks and Things to Do

Kinsmen Park is Saskatoon's oldest park and a year-round favourite, with the Nutrien Playland ferris wheel, train and play area, open lawns and cross-country ski trails in winter. The Mendel building next door now houses the Saskatoon Children's Discovery Museum, and the Meewasin riverbank trails run right along Spadina Crescent. River Landing, the Remai Modern and downtown festivals are a short walk south.

Shopping and Services

Small shops, cafes and professional offices line the neighbourhood's edges, and downtown's Midtown shopping centre, restaurants and grocery options are steps away. The YWCA offers swimming and fitness, and Saskatoon City Hospital is right in the neighbourhood.
