With springtime settling into southeast Saskatchewan, people are getting ready to book summer plans including camping and golfing; getting outside, and enjoying all that nature has to offer. Over at Mainprize Regional Park, they’re getting ready to help accommodate those plans as they’ve announced they’ll be opening their golf course on May 1st and opening the gates for the first day of fishing on May 5th, weather permitting. Michelle Walsh, general manager of Mainprize, is excited to start the 2025 year.
“Well, weather pending, we will be opening up our course on May 1st, which is the earliest we've been able to do it in years so let's hope the snow is gone. We're running a membership deal this week and on May 5th, our entry gate will open up and that's also the first day of fishing. I'm sure that people are excited to get out there and have some fun.”
On May 15th, Mainprize’s campgrounds will be open to the public and they have lots going on that first weekend including some fishing tournaments and their welcome to the park breakfast. They’re also introducing a new restaurant at the park with new vendors taking over. They also have a new team working in the pro shop to take care of your golfing needs.
There is also a new bathroom renovation project that’s been going on at the park, so with lots of new things happening at Mainprize, Walsh says there’s been a lot of buzz as people get ready to enjoy what they have to offer.
“It’s most certainly an exciting time for our members and everybody wants to get out their golfing. We are just sort of waiting. We have the brand-new restaurant coming out to Mainprize so that's creating lots of excitement and buzz. They are coming in May and hopefully we can have our water on within this week and they'll start getting themselves all set up so we're pretty excited.”
Walsh says camping spots are filling fast for registration and golfing numbers are climbing as well. If interested in booking a camping spot, visit www.letscamp.ca/camps/mainprize-regional-park or for more information, visit Mainprize’s website at www.mainprizepark.com.
