Nestled along the Moose Jaw River, this beautiful treed valley offers natural wonders that please the senses. The valley is home to a wide variety of trees, plants and animals, everything from marsh land to cactus growth, as well as an ideal home to thousands of species of wildlife. Located only minutes away from the center of Moose Jaw, Western Development Museum, Historical Murals, Crescent Park and adjacent to the Wild Animal Park and River Park Campground, Wakamow Valley offers recreation and respite for all visitors, from weary travelers to city dwellers.

Wakamow Valley is a series of parks each with their own distinct character -- areas of recreation facilities, heritage education, conservation, environmental clean-up and special events. The primary purpose is to restore and protect the natural beauty of the river valley and create a pleasant park for use by citizens and visitors alike. Established in 1981, Wakamow is dedicated to rejuvenate public lands within a 365 hectare river valley.
        
Through the combined efforts of the City of Moose Jaw, Province of Saskatchewan and surrounding rural municipalities, along with generous charitable donations and volunteer participation, Wakamow has been able to bring the river valley parks to life.

Our volunteers give freely of their time and talents in creating activities that increase the public's enjoyment of the river valley. Their efforts keep the valley developments progressing and indeed make it one of the jewels of the Canadian Prairie. 

Wakamow offers recreation facilities for individuals, families and groups, set in a beautiful natural environment. These facilities include picnic sites, barbecues, washrooms, shelters, fire pits and playgrounds.

Throughout River Park, kilometers of paved trail provide a safe and scenic route for walking and cycling. Canoeing and rowing opportunities also abound at Plaxton's Lake and the canoe launch at Connor Park. Nearby camping facilities exist within the river valley.

A variety of special events are presented by Wakamow and various community groups, ranging from winter activities to summer theatre programs, from official park openings to community open houses and from education programs to socials. In delivering these events, Wakamow works to promote variety, thereby allowing community spirit to show through.

Wakamow encourages people to learn more about the natural and cultural resources of the prairie region through the use of walking tours, signage and education programs. From daycare to university, Wakamow assists groups in improving their awareness of the environment and each individual's role in conserving heritage resources.
