North Yorkton

Neighbourhood Guide


Originally housing the affluent, Yorkton's North neighbourhood has a longer history than most. In the early days of the city's founding, this neighbourhood was small, but featured some of Yorkton's largest homes (belonging to doctors and businessmen). Today, you can see these heritage homes mixed in with war-time houses, apartments, condos, split-levels, bi-levels, bungalows, and low-income designated 4-plexes. As a result, people from every socio-economic class live here together. The straightforward North-South direction of most of the streets makes navigation a breeze, especially for newcomers. 


Parks

  • Waterloo Park

This park is hidden behind the houses of Waterloo Road and Wellington Park Road. It features a large green space, as well as a children's playground.

  • Ukrainian Pioneer Park & Drake Field

There's a variety of things to do here, including playing at the spray park, shooting hoops in the Basketball court, using the outdoor rink, and playing Soccer or Lacrosse on the designated field. 

  • Jackson Park

Directly North of the Yorkton's iconic Court House is Jackson Park. This space has a playground, sun shelter and walking paths for everyone to enjoy.

  • Shaw Park

This park is located two blocks Northeast of the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre. At the heart of it stands a centennial gateway sculpture in weathered steel. The interactive spiral structure connects the sun to significant Yorkton features. The rest of the park is an open green space sheltered by Pine trees. 


Pathways

  • Dracup Pathway

This pathway runs down the length of Dracup Avenue, parallel. It connects with the businesses on Broadway Street East, where a connector joins this pathway with the Highway #10 Pathway. An unpaved portion bisecting this pathway (at the roundabout) connects it to the Mayhew Pathway. There is a retention pond to walk through and/or around, which makes for nice scenery. 


Schools

  • Yorkton Regional High School

Also referred to as the YRHS or The Regional, this public high school in Yorkton is recognized around the world by its distinctive orange colour and mascot.

  • Sacred Heart High School

Also referred to as Sacred, Sacred Heart, or SHHS, this is the other high school in Yorkton - part of the Catholic school system. This school has had a unique and varied history: first a school for Ukrainian immigrants in 1917, then an all girls academy in '45, and finally a high school in '73 when boys were allowed to enroll. In 2003, the school moved over to its new location, where it still stands today. The high school welcomes all students, though enrollment requires the student to complete a Christian Ethics course for each year of attendance, being a faith-based education centre.
