Water-play feature tells river basin story

Published: Thursday, August 30, 2007A Vancouver design company is installing fake rocks and pouring blue concrete rivers and lakes in Saskatoon to recreate a miniature Canadian West, replete with animal tracks and dinosaur fossils.
It's part of the interpretive river basin water-play feature at River Landing, which will feature the flora and fauna, industries, forts and trading posts that form the story of the Saskatchewan river basin, from the Rockies to the Canadian Shield.
The site covers about 30,000 square feet and is unlike anything being done in North America, said Susan Lamb, CEO of the Meewasin Valley Authority. "We wanted something unique and world-class," she said. "It will be a water-play area in summer and a piece of art 12 months of the year."
