Capital Improvements Complete in the Battlefords Provincial Park

Released on July 15, 2014

The Government of Saskatchewan announced the completion of nearly $1.5 million in capital upgrades for The Battlefords Provincial Park in time for the 2014 camping season.

Beginning this year, park visitors are benefitting from a new Centre Campground service centre, electrical expansion in the South Campground and electrical upgrades and expansion in the North Campground.

“The province’s increasing population allows our government to invest more and more in the provincial park system for everyone,” MLA for Cut Knife-Turtleford Larry Doke said on behalf of Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty.  “These investments enable us to meet visitor demand and help us maintain our parks for the enjoyment and education of the people of Saskatchewan.”

The improvements to The Battlefords Provincial Park are part of a larger commitment government made to invest an additional $10 million, over and above base capital funding, in park upgrades from 2012 to 2016.  These park upgrades have included new campground development, enhancement of shower and bathroom facilities, campsite electrification and other infrastructure improvements.

In 2013, the provincial park system set a record 3.7 million visits.  The Battlefords Provincial Park recorded 210,525 of those visits.

The 2014-15 budget has increased funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent this year.  This includes capital and maintenance spending which will hit record levels with $14.9 million identified for upgrades and new construction projects.  Total capital investments in provincial parks have increased 244 per cent in the past seven years, compared to the previous seven year period.
