History
The Holiday Park community was planned out on maps as early as 1911, and
development was soon under way. The Saskatoon Tuberculosis Sanitorium was opened
April 15, 1925 [1][2] and was a landmark of the community, widely visible from the
opposite side of the river. After the Sanatorium closed, it was used for various
purposes before the building was demolished in the 1990s; its grounds remain in use
as a park.

June 27, 1962 was the official opening of the Holiday Park Golf Course.

The Bowerman House was a hunting lodge constructed by Allen Bowerman, and later
used as physician housing for The Saskatoon Sanatorium [3][4]
