Yorkton’s Path to a Greener Future
Yorkton’s Path to a Greener Future
Funding provided through the COVID-19 Community Resilience Stream.
In June 2023, the community of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, buzzed with excitement as the Logan Green Pathway had its grand reopening. The upgraded pathway represents progress towards a more sustainable, connected, and active community.
Did you know?
The paved pathway supports different types of transportation, from wheelchairs, to roller blades, skateboards, strollers, and bicycles.
An existing stretch of just over 2.2 kilometres of gravel trail at the Logan Green Pathway has been transformed to smooth asphalt. This upgrade enhances accessibility, ensuring people of all ages and abilities can fully enjoy the space.
But that’s not all! Solar lights have been added every 35 metres along the upgraded pathway to brighten the area. This eco-friendly addition does more than just illuminate the path; it represents Yorkton’s commitment to renewable energy and contributes to a greener, cleaner environment.
The revamped accessible pathway invites the community to embrace healthier, more active lifestyles. And thanks to those solar lights, the fun doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down – residents can enjoy the pathway after dusk, keeping their evenings active and safe.
As summer rolls in, there’s no better time to explore the Logan Green Pathway. Whether you’re commuting to work by bike or taking a leisurely afternoon stroll the pathway offers a scenic and sustainable route for all to enjoy.
