Prince Albert, SK collaborates with university students on Little Red River Park map app
GPS mapping of the 500-hectare park was conducted by students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic. This team consulted with sports clubs that created their own maps of trails and hills. The city's GIS team translated this data into an interactive map that works on desktop or mobile. Park patrons learn the length, difficulty, and restrictions for every trail using the app. Trail maps include keys for amenities like bike racks, restrooms, and outlets.
