Wascana

Wascana refers to a large urban park located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is one of the largest such parks in North America, encompassing 2,300 acres. The park's centerpiece is Wascana Lake, a man-made reservoir created in 1933. Wascana Park is designed around this lake, featuring extensive parklands, gardens, and pathways.

The park is home to numerous significant institutions and attractions. These include the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, and the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts. Wascana Centre, the organization responsible for the park's development and management, was established in 1962. Wascana Park is a popular destination for recreation, offering opportunities for boating, cycling, walking, and picnicking. It also serves as a vital ecological area within the city. The park's name is derived from the Cree word "Oskana," meaning "pile of bones," referring to buffalo bones found in the area historically.
