On the east side, the Seine River Greenway adds a quieter trail corridor. Maple Grove Park offers a large off-leash dog area and sports fields. And tucked in the neighbourhood is Riel House National Historic Site — Louis Riel’s preserved family home, open to the public.
Dining, Shopping & Amenities
St. Vital Centre is the commercial heart of the city with 160+ stores – including Walmart, Hudson’s Bay, Best Buy, SilverCity, and more. With so many options to choose from, the restaurant scene punches above its weight. In fact, Santa Ana is one of the hardest places to get a reservation in the city, not just St. Vital. This small Italian bistro with wood-fired pizzas is the kind of joint that people drive across Winnipeg to try. Harth Mozza & Wine Bar has quickly become a neighbourhood staple for Italian-style sharing plates and wine.
