Duff Roblin Provincial Park

Duff Roblin Provincial Park, Provincial park near Winnipeg, Canada

Duff Roblin Provincial Park is a 56-hectare park straddling the Red River at the southern inlet control structure of the Red River Floodway, south of St. Norbert in Winnipeg. Courchaine Road runs through it from Turnbull Drive to St. Mary's Road. The developed northeast bank has a steel sheet pile ramp leading to a viewing platform whose floor bears a coloured-concrete map of Winnipeg, the Assiniboine and Red rivers, and the floodway's path.

The park was announced in 2007 to relocate the Duff Roblin Park Reserve and was established on June 13, 2008, funded with $3.2 million from the Province of Manitoba and the Government of Canada. It celebrates two achievements of Premier Duff Roblin: Manitoba's provincial park system and the Red River Floodway. In 2019 the province pledged $2 million for the viewing platform and interpretive exhibits, which officially opened on October 22, 2020, during Manitoba's 150th anniversary.

The park is named after Duff Roblin, Manitoba's premier from 1958 to 1967, and honours two of his achievements: the provincial park system and the Red River Floodway. Its interpretive plaques along the steel sheet-pile ramp explain both, and a decommissioned 1960s track bulldozer stands as an example of the machinery that moved 100 million cubic yards of soil for the floodway.

Enter the park from Courchaine Road, which runs between Turnbull Drive and St. Mary's Road. The main viewing ramp and platform are on the northeast bank of the Red River. The ramp is built of steel sheet pile; a decommissioned 1960s bulldozer stands at its base. Picnic tables and public washrooms are at the top.

The viewing platform's floor is a coloured-concrete map of Winnipeg, the Assiniboine and Red rivers, and the Floodway's path around the city, oriented to the four cardinal directions marked around the circle. An original piston from the Floodway gates stands fixed as the platform's central pillar.
