Regional Parks
Most Regional Parks are established as per The Regional Parks Act. Virtually all of the regional parks in Saskatchewan are affiliated with the Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association (SRPA). The SPRA supports the parks by assisting with research, education, marketing, etc.[2]
A yearly park pass purchased at any SRPA park also grants access to all other SRPA parks.
The Meewasin Valley Authority Act, The Wakamow Valley Authority Act, and The Provincial Capital Commission Act also give authority to create regional parks.
