Holiday Park, Saskatoon

The Holiday Park community was planned out on maps as early as 1911, and development was soon under way. The Saskatoon Tuberculosis Sanitorium was opened April 15, 1925 and was a landmark of the community, widely visible from the opposite side of the river. After the Sanatorium closed, it was used for various purposes before the building was demolished in the 1990s; its grounds remain in use as a park. June 27, 1962 was the official opening of the Holiday Park Golf Course. The Bowerman House was a hunting lodge constructed by Allen Bowerman, and later used as physician housing for The Saskatoon Sanatorium ==Government and politics==

The northern boundary extends no further than 11th Street, and the southern edge overlooks the scenic vista of the Holiday Park Golf Course. Avenue P South through to the South Saskatchewan River are the western and eastern boundaries respectively. The roads are laid out in a grid fashion, the streets south of 11th Street are named: Dudley, Schuyler, and Wellington Streets, followed by Embassy Drive. The avenues are labelled alphabetically with the alphabet. Spadina Crescent cruises along the South Saskatchewan River and incrementing westward through the alphabet. A key three-way intersection at 11th Street, Avenue H and Spadina Crescent was closed for several years in the mid-2010s to allow for expansion of a water treatment plant, forcing southbound motorists to cut-through Holiday Park in order to access and egress Spadina Crescent. In 2016 the intersection was reopened, but was permanently closed in March 2019. Spadina Crescent was for many years the primary access road to the city's main landfill and the Queen Elizabeth II Power Station. With Spadina Crescent closed, landfill traffic and power plant traffic is now rerouted via a new entrance to the dump off Valley Road to the southwest of Holiday Park. == References ==
