This report is organized into nine sections, the principal seven of which include: • The Compelling Case for Change: while an attractive physical presence, the Park is long overdue for an updated strategic plan, contemporary fundraising program, and modernized organizational structure to revitalize its luster and status as a tourist destination for the city and the province. • Current Governance Reality: a summary of how the Park is organized now, including the role of the City of Winnipeg (“the City”) and its various functional contributors, the different not-for-profit organizations and their leadership roles within the Park, and a strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats (“SWOT”) analysis of the present governance situation.

    HISTORY OF THE WINNIPEG PARK PATROL 120 YEARS OF POLICING WINNIPEG'S PARKS 1897-2017 Researched and written by Sergeant John Burchill(retired) Winnipeg has more parks per capita than any other city in North America. With over 900 residential parks and 12 major Regional parks, Winnipeg has more than 10,260 acres of parkland. Although Winnipeg has an abundance of green space, it still enjoys some of the safest parks throughout Canada, which can be attributable to the efforts of Winnipeg's Park Patrol, formerly known as the Park Police. Although they were never listed in the national police directory, with 14 sworn members at its height, Winnipeg's Park Park Police - 1987, John Burchill Police were at one time one of the larger quasi-municipal police services in Manitoba. Their members are fully trained, sworn peace officers, who meet the same hiring and training standards as members of the Winnipeg Police Service. In fact, all full-time members of the Park Police were graduates of the Winnipeg Police Academy. With offices formerly located in Assiniboine Park, Kildonan Park and Kings Park, the Winnipeg Park Police operated primarily as one-officer units and provided 7-days a week coverage to most of the major regional parks and operated on a 24-hour a day schedule out of Assiniboine Park. In addition to three marked cruiser cars and an unmarked traffic unit, the Winnipeg Park Police also operated a bike patrol during large special events. Today they are known as the Park Patrol however they can trace their history back 115 years to 1897 when the Public Parks Board hired their first Special Constable.
