Buffalo Pound Provincial Park is a Saskatchewan Provincial Park located in southern Saskatchewan about 30 km (19 mi) north-east of downtown Moose Jaw and 86 km (53 mi) north-west of the city of Regina.[2]

The park centres on Buffalo Pound Lake, a prairie lake formed from glaciation about 10,000 years ago.[3] Seasonal recreation activities include swimming (two public beaches and a pool), camping, fishing, mini-golf, biking, hiking, and access to the Trans Canada Trail. The park also features a captive herd of buffalo, along with the Nicolle Flats Marsh where a variety of wildlife can be observed. There is also a trout pond, known as Buffalo Pond, which is stocked with rainbow, brown, and tiger trout. Highways 202 and 301 intersect near the park.
