Forestry Farm Park and Zoo

The Forestry Farm Park and Zoo is a forested park and zoo located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The park was originally established as the Dominion Forest Nursery Station and later Sutherland Forest Nursery Station. Between 1913 and 1966 was responsible for growing and shipping 147 million trees shipped across the northern prairie provinces. The first shipment of trees were sent to farmers in 1916. The park is designated a National Historic Site of Canada. The nursery grew caragana, ash, maple, elm, and willow. After the nursery closed in 1966 a portion was re-opened as a city park. The park contains the following areas: Forestry Farm House (The Superintendent's Residence) – is a historical farm house of a Georgian brink design built in 1913 located within the park. The building was officially designated a heritage property on July 3, 1990. Hall – With a capacity of 225 people Gazebo Picnic Site – With seating for up to 100 people Fishing Pond – A Pond stocked with Rainbow Trout (daily permit required) Kinsmen Express Zoo Train – Guided tour through the zoo area Paws Inn Concession and Gift Shop – A Concession Stand and Gift Shop operated by the Zoo Society Meditation Garden – Cared for by the Perennial Society Heritage Rose Garden – Cared for by the Perennial Society Zoo – The zoo facilities Demonstration Forest – Original demonstration forest once part of the nursery.Developed long before any major residential development in the region, since the 1990s the park has been virtually surrounded by Saskatoon's urban sprawl, casting the Forestry Farm, along with several contiguous linear parks, in an additional role as part of the region's greenbelt.
