Sutherland Park

A park. It's got a it has a outdoor paddling pool and a small playground, was good fun when I was younger looks like it's going downhill now.

Nice trails.

Great playing field and play area for kids of all ages. It has a padding area with a pool for the kids to cool out all summer long. Brought the kids to cool out on a hot summer afternoon. We spent some time in the pool playing treasure hunt for jewels that were dropped into the pool by the pool attendants. The kids really enjoyed the the water spraying in the air and falling on their faces. We then went to the basket ball court where my 6 yrd old was rising his bike. We then moved to the play area where they played on the swing and the slide. Then they moved to running up and down the mini hill right next to the swing. They took their bicycle to the top of the hill and rode it all the way down to the bottom. The kid has alot of fun at Sutherland park, I would recommend you visit and remember to be creative.

It was memories of long ago

My City, My Home #3

You know you're from Saskatchewan
when the best sledding hill in your area
is nicknamed "Pancake Hill."

My snow chariot--
that old wooden toboggan--
glides down alleys
to the scraping fanfare
of loose pebbles.

My mother--
80's hair hardly constrained
by the robin's egg blue headband--
dutifully retrieves discarded mittens,
removes snow from small boots.

We slide for several minutes.
I do my best to collide with sojourning sisters,
supine on their sleds at the base of the hill.
Joyous for several minutes
until the inevitable cry,
"I have to pee!"
