"McKell Wascana Conservation Park is a 171-acre park space in the city of Regina dedicated to conserving and restoring native prairie and wetland habitat.
Developed in partnership with the City of Regina and the Bob McKell family, the park offers 4 kilometers of groomed nature trails with interpretive stations and benches, a dock for getting close to the creek for pond dipping and an entry plaza and amphitheatre for educational programming.
The project was officially dedicated in 2005 by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. In 2009, the City of Regina won a municipal Environmental Stewardship Award for the park. We were also awarded the Saskatchewan Watershed Stewardship Award for their work in organizing this project.
The park is located at 12001 Wascana Circle. Take Prince of Wales south to Wascana Gate S, turn east to Wascana Circle, head south about 1/2 kilometers".

"Regina is the capital city of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The city is the second-largest in the province and a cultural and commercial centre for southern Saskatchewan. It is governed by Regina City Council. The city is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Sherwood No. 159. In 2013, Regina was named the 6th best Canadian mid-sized city (17th best overall) in which to live by MoneySense magazine.
Regina was previously the seat of government of the North-West Territories, of which the current provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta originally formed part, and of the District of Assiniboia. The site having previously been Wascana ("Buffalo Bones" in Cree), it was renamed in 1882 after Queen Victoria, Victoria Regina, by her daughter Princess Louise, wife of the Marquess of Lorne, then the Governor General of Canada".
