Prairieland Park leases the site at the corner of Ruth Street and Lorne Avenue from the City of Saskatoon. The original lease agreement came into effect on March 1, 1995, and established a fifty (50) year lease for the site. Prairieland Park has an option to extend the lease for an additional twenty (20) years after March 30, 2045, provided all conditions in the original lease have been met.

Prairieland Park is located at 503 Ruth Street and is zoned AG - Agricultural District, Fairgrounds and accessory uses are permitted in the AG Zoning District.

The lease agreement with the City of Saskatoon states that all plans for additional development are subject to the prior written approval of City Council.  Therefore, any new development proposals on the site require an amendment to the Concept Plan identified in the lease agreement prior to proceeding. The Concept Plan was last amended in 2019 to accommodate the development of a new kitchen facility on the site.

Existing Approved Concept Plan:

Prairieland Park has applied for a Concept Plan Amendment to provide for development of a proposed soccer facility capable of seating approximately 5,800 people and a new parking area. The proposal would also accommodate future development on the site including: alterations to Sports on Tap, additional parking, and sports fields.

The soccer stadium is proposed to be located on the existing Marquis Downs site and will repurpose the existing grandstand. The soccer stadium will include a 225ft x 360ft FIFA-compliant playing area and two new seating grandstands on the east and west side of the pitch. Parking to support the soccer stadium is proposed to be located on the area currently occupied by the horse barns and would consist of approximately 1,200 parking stalls.
