The Kenosee Superslides, a once-popular waterpark located in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, Saskatchewan, is facing demolition after years of declining conditions led to its closure. The park opened in 1985 and was a favorite among families, offering thrilling water activities; however, the attraction became notorious for issues including bruises suffered by patrons, dirty water quality, and even dead frogs found in the area. In 2020, the park closed its doors for good when it failed to meet health and safety standards, leading to concerns over public safety.

Recently, the Saskatchewan provincial government signed an executive order to invest $227,000 for the waterpark's demolition, citing that the operator was unable to secure a license from the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The deterioration of the infrastructure left the facility unsafe for any potential future use. As a result, the ministry highlighted the necessity for the removal of what has become an abandoned building, indicating that the waterpark had transformed from a beloved family destination into a significant safety hazard.

The decision to demolish the Kenosee Superslides not only marks the end of an era for local families who enjoyed the park but also underscores the importance of maintaining health and safety standards at recreational facilities. With the demolition, the province aims to prevent any further risk to public safety and remove a longstanding eyesore from the landscape of Moose Mountain Provincial Park. It reflects a broader trend concerning the maintenance and management of aging public attractions across Canada.
