Rooted in History, Growing for the Future
Henteleff Park is a 50-acre riverfront natural park and arboretum in Winnipeg, Located at 1964 St. Mary’s Road along the Red River, the park provides a unique blend of ecological diversity, local history, and quiet recreational space within an urban setting.
The land’s story stretches back to the 1800s, when it formed part of a Métis-owned river lot homestead. From 1924 to 1967, it operated as a thriving market garden run by the Henteleff family. After the property was expropriated by the City of Winnipeg, it was used as a municipal tree nursery supplying plant material for urban forestry and shelterbelts.
The Henteleff Park Foundation Inc. (HPF), a registered charitable organization, now manages the park as a city park. Under the Board’s stewardship, many volunteers, supporters and donors help to maintain the more than 50 native species of trees.
