One of the city's landmarks is the [[Delta Bessborough]] Hotel, known to locals as the ''Bez''. Built by the [[Canadian National Railway]], it was among the last [[Canada's grand railway hotels|railway hotels]] to be started before the [[Great Depression]] of the 1930s brought their era to a close. Although the building was completed in 1932, it did not open its doors until 1935 due to the Depression. The Bessborough and the [[Mendel Art Gallery]] are the only major structures on the river side of Spadina Crescent. One of the most frequently circulated photographs of Saskatoon is of the hotel framed in one of the arches of the [[Broadway Bridge (Saskatoon)|Broadway Bridge]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.saskatoonkiosk.ca/history.php |title=History of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan |publisher=Saskatoonkiosk.ca |access-date=2011-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411113603/http://www.saskatoonkiosk.ca/history.php |archive-date=April 11, 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The [[Meewasin Valley Authority|Meewasin Valley Trail]] follows the South Saskatchewan River through Saskatoon. Summer activities include cycling, jogging and walking through parks and natural areas. Cross-country skiing is popular during the winter months, along with skating in Kiwanis Memorial Park. Access points are found throughout the city with interpretive signage and washrooms along the route. There are parks throughout the Meewasin Valley, with washrooms, picnic facilities, and lookout points along the river bank.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.meewasin.com/facilities/trail/|title=Meewasin Trail and Facilities|access-date=2008-03-10|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110828040059/http://www.meewasin.com/facilities/trail/|archive-date=August 28, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref> In the winter the Meewasin Skating Rink is open free to the public; it is in Kiwanis Memorial Park beside the Delta Bessborough hotel. The outdoor rink has been open since 1980.

For years, a parcel of land west of the [[Traffic Bridge]], south of 19th Street, and east of Avenue C has been the subject of on-again, off-again redevelopment plans. The site formerly held the Saskatoon Arena, a power plant, a branch of the [[Royal Canadian Legion]], and the head offices of the [[Saskatoon Public School Division]]; all these structures have been demolished to make way for redevelopment, with plans for same dating back to the 1980s. The most recent version of the plan called River Landing is ongoing.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.riverlanding.ca/ |title=River Landing – Saskatchewan's premier residential and destination tourist centre! |publisher=Riverlanding.ca |access-date=2011-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161006163537/http://www.riverlanding.ca/ |archive-date=October 6, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> Calgary developer Lake Placid has proposed a 200 million dollar mega hotel/condo project to be built on the site although Lake Placid had difficulty securing financing and missed an October 30, 2009, deadline to submit a 4.5 million dollar payment for the parcel of land which seemingly killed the deal.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lakeplacidsaskatoon.com/ |title=River Landing Village |publisher=Lakeplacidsaskatoon.com |date=1999-12-04 |access-date=2011-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100412155023/http://www.lakeplacidsaskatoon.com/ |archive-date=April 12, 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thestarphoenix.com/news/Lake+Placid+fails+deadline/2167368/story.html|title=Lake Placid fails deadline}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> On November 16, 2009, it was revealed by Lake Placid that the financing should be secure within a week.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/money-for-saskatoon-complex-coming-developer-says-1.833761 | work=CBC News | title=Money for Saskatoon complex coming, developer says | date=2009-11-17 | access-date=November 18, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091121163833/http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2009/11/17/sl-lake-placid911.html | archive-date=November 21, 2009 | url-status=live }}</ref> In April 2010, Saskatoon City Council voted in favour of entering new negotiations with Lake Placid over the site.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thestarphoenix.com/news/Lake+Placid+back+game/2875902/story.html|title=Lake Placid Back in the Game}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
November 2010, Victory Majors Investments buys out Lake Placid's interest in the project and in
August 2011 of the next year proposed a major overhaul to original design which would later include building a 20-story residential and 14-story hotel towers, and an 18-story and a 13-story office tower as part of [[River Landing Towers]] completed in 2021.

The Saskatoon Farmers' Market and some commercial sites have also been developed. Future plans separate from Lake Placid include the development of a new art gallery to replace the Mendel Art Gallery by 2014.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/funds-pledged-for-51m-saskatoon-art-gallery-1.808899 | work=CBC News | title=Funds pledged for $51M Saskatoon art gallery | date=2009-09-23 | access-date=November 18, 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091015091507/http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2009/09/23/sk-saskatoon-art-gallery.html | archive-date=October 15, 2009 | url-status=live }}</ref> Other landmarks in the city include the iconic Traffic Bridge (which was demolished in 2016 and is currently being replaced by a new structure evoking the appearance of the original), the University of Saskatchewan campus, and the large Viterra grain terminal which has dominated the western skyline of the city for decades and is large enough to be visible from [[Pike Lake Provincial Park]] 32&nbsp;km away.
