New public access is coming soon for Haskayne Legacy Park. The City has reached an agreement with adjacent landowners to allow access to this great outdoor space in Ward 1. Access should be completed in mid-2023.

Speaking of access, temporary access has now been restored on the pathway between Valley Ridge and Bowness Park with a permanent fix expected later this year.
