Reminder: Permits Required for Park Access
For immediate release: May 12, 2022 - 4:00 pm
CY22-3098
Spring is a busy time of year for projects in the yard, garden, and around the home. Contractors and homeowners with a property adjacent to a park may wish to use the park as an access point for deliveries, equipment and/or vehicles related to their projects.
The City would like to remind contractors and homeowners about the importance of gaining approval before accessing a park to ensure the safety and enjoyment of these spaces for everyone.
To obtain a permit, contractors and homeowners can either:
1) Complete the Request Access to a Park online form at saskatoon.ca/parkaccess; or,
2) Call Parks Customer Service at 306-975-3300.
Permit applications should be submitted at least one week prior to the date required.
Once the permit has been issued, the permit holder is responsible for:
- Repairing any damage to City property at the homeowner's/contractor’s expense.
- Removing all litter/debris after the project is complete.
- Expenses incurred by the City to repair damage.
- Adhering to any restrictions set forth in the approval process, including limitations for vehicle access when the turf is wet.
- Accepting liability for any injury to the public, and for damages to public property.
- Contacting the Parks Division after the work is complete for an inspection and to close the permit.
For more information, or to request a Park Access Permit for your project, call 306 975 3300 or visit saskatoon.ca/parkaccess.
