We have six (6) beautiful tennis courts, providing plenty of court space to enjoy a quick game, a few sets, or a full match. Thanks to the generous support of the Waskesiu Foundation, and in particular, Gordon, Jill, Edward and Katherine Rawlinson, all of our courts were resurfaced in 2016..
​
In June of each year the Waskesiu Recreation Association hosts the Waskesiu Tennis Tournament Open. This is a Tennis Saskatchewan-sanctioned event featuring men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles competitions.

Gordie Howe Memorial Fitness Park
In 2018 the Waskesiu Foundation partnered with the Waskesiu Recreation Association to construct a new outdoor fitness park – the “Gordie Howe Memorial Fitness Park”.
Our Fitness Park was dedicated on August 5, 2018 by Murray Howe, son of hockey legend Gordie Howe. Gordie Howe lived, worked, golfed and fished at Waskesiu during his hockey career and called Waskesiu his “favourite place on earth”. During his early NHL years, Gordie spent many summers in the Park - working at the Waskesiu Golf Course, and fishing with one of his on-ice rivals – legendary goaltender Johnny Bower.
​
The fitness park is a tribute to “Mr. Hockey”, who in life symbolized the best in physical fitness, human kindness, humility, and compassion.
A new floor of athletic tiles was installed by the Waskesiu Foundation in the spring of 2019 giving users a more solid footing, and protecting joints from impacts.
The facility is available to the general public for free, and is intended for adult use only. Additional exercise equipment, including kettle balls, is also available free of charge.
​
Stanley Thompson
Lawn Bowling Green
Lawn bowling is a great sport for the entire family, and has a long history in Waskesiu dating back over 70 years.
Our original lawn bowling green was designed with technical assistance from world-renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson, and was refurbished in 2021 with support from Parks Canada, PrairiesCan and the Waskesiu Foundation.
The renewed facility was re-named the “Stanley Thompson Lawn Bowling Green” and has 5 new lawn bowling rinks for visitors and residents to enjoy.
