To the east of the [[Exhibition, Saskatoon|Exhibition]] subdivision is the [[Diefenbaker Management Area]] which boasts the Diefenbaker park and Pioneer Cemetery. The park includes a medium-sized hill which is used for tobogganing and snowboarding, and the park itself is a frequently-used venue for picnics and public events and performances. A Management Area (MA) is a term used to classify areas that are generally not covered by residential, industrial or future development characteristics. |

The Pioneer Cemetery received its first internment in 1884. On June 20, 1905 the Nutana Cemetery Co was awarded a special grant at SW Section 20 Township 36 Range 5 W of the 3rd Meridian. The Pioneer Cemetery was also called the Nutana Cemetery, and was the first municipal cemetery for the City of Saskatoon until 1910 when Woodlawn Cemetery became the city cemetery. The Pioneer Cemetery has been declared a heritage site as of 1982. |
