List of provincial parks in Saskatchewan

Canada's national parks and reserves by provinces and territories

This is a list of provincial parks in Saskatchewan, Canada. The parks are owned by the Saskatchewan government and administered by Sask Parks through the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport.

History

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. Little Manitou ceased to be a provincial park in 1956 and, in 1962, it became a regional park.

Designated in 2018, Porcupine Hills Provincial Park is Saskatchewan's newest provincial park.
