King's Park, Winnipeg

Kings Park is a 37.4 ha park and residential subdivision in Fort Richmond, a suburb of Fort Garry in southern Winnipeg, located on the western side of the Red River. Its grounds include Chinese pagoda gardens in the centre of the park, a soccer field, two baseball diamonds, an off leash dog park area and marshland, home of waterfowl and wildlife.

Neighbourhood
Kings Park began in the early 20th century, located 240 yards from the newly created University of Manitoba Agricultural College and Connaught Park. Having the University of Manitoba nearby increased the land value from $125.00 to $4,000 per acre. Adjacent to the park, 124 treed lots were subdivided for housing.

Electric streetcar service was planned early on, to serve both the Park and the Agricultural College.

The subdivision has the Kings Park Community Club. Originally activities took place at St. Avila School until a separate building could be built.
