The Mall at Lawson Heights offers most amenities and there are several recreational facilities in this neighbourhood including the Kinsmen/Henk Ruys Soccer Centre, Lawson Civic Centre (with Saskatoon’s first wave pool, tropical beach-like pool, toddlers pool, multipurpose room, indoor playground, fitness room, poolside deck, and an outdoor park area). The streets here are named after Saskatchewan lakes.
