Brief History:
The parking lot and dock area were built for the Western Canada Summer Games (1975)
Marina Building opened in 1981. This replaced a chain link fenced area, that was being used to
store canoes, etc.
The upper half of the building had several unique features.
In addition to providing washrooms and rest area, there was a small concession area,
a lake water level display, and a "mini depot" for Wascana employees.
1986: The upper part of the building was converted into a restaurant and
used by Youth Unlimited as a "training restaurant" for youth.
During this time Youth Unlimited also provided lake ferry tours
and a concession stand at Wascana Park Pool.
After Youth Unlimited stop using this building it continued to serve as a restaurant.
First the Wascana Bistro, then the Park Place Restaurant.
Currently, The Willow on Wascana.
