Lower Patio Resurfacing

Posted on Sep 10, 2025 by The Forks Market

Starting in September, 2025, parts of the lower patio at The Forks will be closed temporarily as it is resurfaced.

New paving stones will replace the grass that was there. Because of the heavy foot traffic in the area, the grass was worn away and frequently became muddy during and after rain.

The new hardscape surface will last for years while enhancing our visitors’ comfort and enjoyment on the patio.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
