Grasslands National Park

Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan is Canada's only national park created to protect the mixed-grass prairie ecosystem. The park is divided into two separate units: the West Block is located near the village of Val Marie, about 120 km south of Swift Current. The East Block near Kildeer offers true wilderness experience, with exposed badland formations and steep, eroded buttes.
