Centrally located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Assiniboine Park is home to the Assiniboine Park Zoo and is one of Winnipeg's most cherished community assets. In 1904, the City of Winnipeg purchased 283 acres of woodland and prairie along the south side of the Assiniboine River. Termed the "Suburban Park" for the first ten years, Assiniboine Park, as it was later named, was the first of the City's Regional Park system. The Park quickly became the "jewel in the crown" of the City's growing park system and the social hub of outdoor leisure and major events. Assiniboine Park has retained this status to the present time, more than a century later.
