Embrace the opportunity at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park

We have the people
Whether it’s an overnight camping trip, a day trip or a special event, Buffalo Pound is an active park with many visitors coming and going throughout the year.
Based on entry permits sold, the number of days visitors have spent in the park has been trending upward over the past three years (see chart).
Buffalo Pound is in close proximity to the urban populations of Regina and Moose Jaw, with approximately 400 cottages surrounding the park.
Once complete, the visitor centre will be the central hub where many will gather, with potential to draw in even more visitors from surrounding areas in the years to come.
We envision the centre serving as the headquarters for special interest groups to hold events and tournaments. This past summer, the park saw a number of one-day special events including trail races (running and biking), disc golf and the 5th Annual Smoke n’ the Valley BBQ Competition. Each event had 100+ attendees.
You have our support.
Those who enter into an agreement with Saskatchewan Parks will receive free promotion on our social media pages, web pages, advertising campaigns and more. We are excited to launch the new centre and are eager to have it become the heart of Buffalo Pound. We want to work with you to provide the best experience possible for our visitors.
