What visitors say

River Landing is Saskatoon's downtown riverfront, a landscaped stretch along the South Saskatchewan River with green space, flower beds, public art and views of the Victoria and Broadway bridges. Visitors describe it as calm and breezy, good for a morning walk or an evening stroll, with birds along the water.

It's popular with families. There's a spray park and playground, open lawns and a seasonal snack shop that one visitor rated as having the best ice cream in the city. The Remai Modern gallery sits beside the park, and some summer visitors found food stalls and live music.

Paths link into the Meewasin Trail for longer walks, runs or rides. The river here is a no-motorboat zone, which suits canoes and kayaks, and shore angling follows Saskatchewan's regulations with a provincial licence. The City of Saskatoon advises staying off the river entirely during high-water warnings.

Parking is paid, both in lots and on the street. One visitor found the public washroom at the snack shop not very clean.
