About Menissawok National Park
Menissawok National Park was a national park established in 1922 southeast of the town of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, in the southwest part of the Canadian province. It closed in 1930, and was delisted in 1947. The 44 km2 (17 sq mi) park land had functioned as a pronghorn reserve beginning in 1914. Menissawok National Park was one of several national parks created in the Prairies expressly to protect and regenerate dangerously low populations of bison and pronghorn. Other 'regeneration' parks, also delisted in 1947, included Buffalo National Park, Wawaskesy National Park, and Nemiskam National Park (all in Alberta).
