Martensville has grown from a small commuter town into a full-service city with parks, sports facilities, shopping and a busy family-focused events calendar. Here is what daily life looks like once you move in.
Parks and Recreation
Martensville's park network is one of the reasons families keep choosing the city:
- Kinsmen Park: central park with playground, ball diamonds and green space.
- Splash park: a summer favourite that draws families from across the region on hot afternoons.
- Lake Vista walking paths: paved paths loop around the stormwater ponds and connect neighbourhoods.
- Neighbourhood playgrounds: nearly every subdivision has its own park and playground.
Sports and Programs
Martensville has a thriving minor sports scene run through community associations. Options include hockey, ringette, ball, soccer, football, dance, gymnastics and swim programs. The Martensville Sports Centre anchors ice and pool activities, while the outdoor fields host summer sports.
The Martensville Sports Centre and Pool
The Martensville Sports Centre is one of the biggest amenity advantages over some other bedroom communities: it combines an indoor ice arena and a swimming pool under one roof. Public swim, lessons, aquafit, hockey and figure skating all run out of the facility.
Shopping and Everyday Errands
You can handle most of your weekly shopping in Martensville without heading into Saskatoon. Centennial Drive has grocery, pharmacy, hardware, banking, medical services and a growing lineup of local shops. National big-box options are a short drive south into north-end Saskatoon.
