Activities and experiences

The Forks National Historic Site

Programming at The Forks is over for the season, but the site remains open for visitors to enjoy. The Fort Parka playground and splash pad are closed for the season.

The Forks is a busy site nestled in the centre of downtown Winnipeg at the meeting place of the Red and Assiniboine rivers! Come sunshine or snow, there’s always something to enjoy—from taking a historic tour or skating the frozen river trails.
