Wayfinding in Wascana
Canadian Geographic
|September/October 2021
How a Regina park became one of the biggest accessibility projects in North America

WITH MORE THAN 10 kilometres of paved pathways winding around a 120-hectare lake, Regina’s Wascana Park is a destination for family walks and canoeing or kayaking adventures. Though not nearly as famous, it’s larger than Vancouver’s Stanley Park and New York’s Central Park combined — and it’s right in the centre of the city.
Set on 930 hectares, this urban paradise is home to more than 300 species of trees and shrubs, 270 species of birds and 36 species of mammals. It’s also crisscrossed by multi-use pathways that make it difficult to navigate for individuals like me, who are blind or partially sighted and use a guide dog or a white cane.
