Varsity Park is widely considered East Regina’s best-kept secret. Tucked away along the banks of Wascana Creek, this quiet enclave was developed in the 1980s and offers a level of seclusion that is rare in the city. Anchored by the prestigious **W.S. Hawrylak School** and bordering the McKell Wascana Conservation Park, it is a top-tier destination for families who prioritize education, privacy, and outdoor living.
Living in Varsity Park: Quiet & Connected
**Varsity Park** was designed with very few entry points, meaning there is almost zero through-traffic. The streets are incredibly quiet, often filled with kids riding bikes or neighbours walking towards the **McKell Wascana Conservation Park**.
For active residents, this is a dream location. You have direct access to the nature trails along Wascana Creek, and you are just a short drive (or bike ride) from the **Wascana Country Club** for a round of golf. Despite the quiet feel, the amenities of East Regina (Costco, Superstore, Landmarks Cinema) are only 5 minutes away.
Real Estate Profile: 1980s Quality
**Homes for sale in Varsity Park** are defined by their "solid" feel. Most properties were custom-built in the mid-to-late 1980s, featuring 2x6 construction, brick exteriors, and traditional layouts that include formal dining rooms and sunken living rooms.
The lots here are substantially larger than what you find in new subdivisions like The Greens. It is common to find 60-foot wide lots with mature spruce trees and private backyards that aren't staring directly into a neighbour's window.
Schools in Varsity Park
For many buyers, the school is the #1 reason to move here. The neighbourhood is home to **École W.S. Hawrylak School** (Public / French Immersion), which is consistently cited as one of the most desirable elementary schools in the city.
Because the school is located right in the centre of the community, most children can walk to class without ever crossing a busy street, creating a very strong "community campus" atmosphere.
FAQ: Varsity Park vs. Wascana View?
They are neighbours, but distinct. **Varsity Park** is slightly older (1980s), features more brick/cedar styling, and feels more "treed in." **Wascana View** is slightly newer (1990s/2000s), features more stucco/stone homes, and has more properties with valley views. Both share the same excellent access to Hawrylak School and the nature trails.
Is this a golf course community?
Yes, Varsity Park is one of the few neighbourhoods in Regina that borders the exclusive **Wascana Country Club**. Many of the homes on the western edge of the neighbourhood back directly onto the fairways or the mature treeline of the course, offering some of the most private and scenic backyards in the city.
What schools serve Varsity Park?
This is a major selling point for families. Varsity Park is in the catchment area for **École W.S. Hawrylak School** (Public), located just north in University Park East. This school is highly coveted for its dual-track program (English and French Immersion) and its strong academic reputation.
How does it compare to Wascana View?
Varsity Park can be thought of as the "precursor" to Wascana View. Developed slightly earlier (mostly late 1980s and 90s), the homes here are large custom builds on generous lots with mature landscaping. It offers the same prestige and safety as Wascana View but often feels more established due to the larger trees and closer proximity to Arcola Avenue.
Market Pulse
Varsity Park has very low turnover. Residents tend to stay until their children graduate from Hawrylak. When family homes (especially those with 4 bedrooms upstairs) hit the market, they are highly competitive. We are seeing a trend of younger families buying these 1980s homes and modernizing the interiors (opening walls, updating kitchens) to create their dream home on a large lot.
