Saskatchewan’s Natural Environment Regional Park
2014 & 2015 Recipient of Saskatchewan’s “Best Award” for Best Regional Park.
A true gem! Pine Cree Park is named for the Cree who once camped here and the abundant “pine” trees that grow in the Coulee. It’s the perfect place for a picnic or a camping trip, complete with an outdoor kitchen and washroom facilities. Don’t forget to see if you can find the Hermit’s Cave!
