Blackstrap has a new option to beat the summer heat in Saskatchewan

With summer in full swing, people are itching to get outdoors and have some fun.

A neat new business has popped up in the province that might be right up their alley.

It’s called Saskatchewan Aquatic Adventures.

It’s basically a giant inflatable playground on the water.

Co-owner Steph Baer says it has everything.

“There’s monkey bars, slides, there’s leap pads where you try and run across,” said Baer. “And there’s an all-in-one activity centre. It’s a big tower where you can slide down, you can jump off of it and you can test your endurance and see if you can climb up it.”

One of the water parks just opened at Blackstrap Provincial Park.

Because of COVID-19, operators have had to reduce the number of people they let on at one time; the limit is now around 80.

Baer says despite the restrictions, people of all ages are enjoying the parks.

“People are excited to get out and enjoy the warm air,” Baer said. “The summers are short so people just want to get out to the beach.”

Saskatchewan Aquatic Adventures also runs out of Regina Beach and soon will be at Danielson Provincial Park near Loreburn.
