Originally known as “River Park” in the late 1800’s, this area hosted many events. These included boat excursions along the Red River and into Lake Winnipeg, as well as a dance pavilion and a boardwalk with carnie games and concession stands – added in the 1900’s. Also in the 1900’s, the ‘Winnipeg, Selkirk and Lake Winnipeg Electric Railway’ ran a streetcar service from Winnipeg to Selkirk Park.
Staying true to its roots, Selkirk Park presently hosts a number of summer attractions including Indigenous People Day, held in June, and the Triple “S” Fair & Rodeo -featuring a street parade, midway, livestock events, crafts, and a first class rodeo in July.
