SASKATOON – After 38 years of service, the city of Saskatoon has sold the Kinsmen Park train to Country Fun Petting Farm.
The old Kinsmen Park ride will continue entertaining Saskatchewan children and families at the interactive farm located 10 km east of Prince Albert.
Last fall, the city sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the transport and sale of the train and wound up selling it for $7,000.
The train was expected to be leaving the Bridge City today but transporters experienced a couple of minor detours with loading. They’re hoping for the train’s last Saskatoon departure in the near future.
The Saskatoon icon’s departure clears the way for the construction of Phase 1 of the Kinsmen Park and Area Master Plan, which will include the installation of a new longer train ride.
This phase is expected to open to the public in 2014.
