Gardiner Park is the neighbourhood that set the standard for “Executive Living” in East Regina. Located immediately east of University Park Drive, this area was developed in the early-to-mid 1980s with a focus on grand scale. It is defined by its massive custom homes, triple-car garages, and the sprawling linear park system that runs through its center. If you are looking for a “forever home” with established trees and generous square footage, Gardiner Park is the benchmark.
Gardiner Park — estate-scale living around the green corridor.
The lifestyle in Gardiner Park is quiet and private. The streets are designed as wide, sweeping crescents to discourage cut-through traffic. The centerpiece is the park itself—a beautifully landscaped green corridor that allows kids to walk to school without ever walking on the road.
While it feels secluded, it sits right next to University Park Drive, giving you a 5-minute commute to the University of Regina or a 2-minute drive to the Victoria East shopping district.
Gardiner Park real estate is distinct from the newer areas because of the lot sizes. You will find 60-foot wide lots here, accommodating sprawling bungalows and massive 2-storey homes (often 2,500+ sqft).
The architecture is classic 1980s luxury: brick facades, cedar shakes (mostly updated now), and grand foyer entrances. It is a prime target for buyers who want “estate” living but want to be in the city.
Education is central to this community, with schools located right along the park strip:

Broker's Market Note
Gardiner Park is a “renovation destination.” We are seeing a huge trend of young families buying these massive 1980s homes and investing $100k+ into modernizing them. Because the location and lot sizes are irreplaceable, the return on investment for high-end renovations here is excellent.
These are the two “titans” of the established East End. University Park is slightly older (1970s) and features more mid-century modern architecture. Gardiner Park is slightly newer (1980s) and features larger, more traditional estate homes. Both are prestigious, but Gardiner Park homes tend to be slightly larger in square footage.
It is exceptional. The neighbourhood is designed around a massive central linear park system (Gardiner Park) that runs through the heart of the community. This green belt connects the residential streets to tennis courts, playgrounds, and walking paths, allowing kids to travel through the neighbourhood without walking on the road.
