Layout

Caroline Robins School nestles into the west end of Dr. Seager Wheeler Park. Senator James Gladstone Park divides in the south and east edges along Glenwood Avenue while Sen. J. Hnatyshyn Park lies at the corner of Catherwood Avenue and Richardson Road. Unlike Eastview, the streets in the neighborhood with exception of Avenues W & Y and 33rd & 37th Streets are named after prominent figures in Saskatoon's history. The majority of the neighborhood is laid out in the crescent system as the city was beginning to shy away from the grid layout. The northwest corner of the neighborhood which saw the construction of Lewis Crescent, Peterson Crescent, Court and Terrace along with the 37th Street extension from Byers Crescent to Junor Avenue took place between 1996 and 1999.
