Jane's Walk is typically held the first weekend in May. All guided walks are cancelled because of COVID19 restrictions. The Friends of the Forestry Farm House have created a virtual walk for this occasion. Visit janeswalksaskatoon.ca to access our walkinthepark pdf to take along on your walk.
Arbor Week is May 21 to May 29, a great time for a Walk in the Park. The end of May is an excellent time to take in the flowering crab apples in the park. There are a couple of great flowering ones in the main parking lot and also in the Meditation Garden and Heritage Rose Garden. Take a walk in the park, download your pdf from the Jane's Walk website listed above.
