POTA New Parks Requests

This is your chance to suggest new Saskatchewan Parks for POTA

Edit:  Nov 8, 2023

Unfortunately it looks like City of Saskatoon parks do not meet the requirements to be added as new POTA parks.  Hopefully this will change in the future.  The best candidates for new parks are those run by the Federal or Provincial or local government and especially if there is a Website well defining the park boundary.  The park or entity must also be publicly accessible land.  With this in mind, feel free to continue suggesting candidates for new parks.

I would like to announce that I am now the official Parks On The Air Saskatchewan Map Representative.  If any of you would like to have a park added please use the following template and email me a request.  Check QRZ.com for email.
