Arthur Neufeld Soccer Pitch
Named after Arthur Neufeld, a lifelong 
Warman resident and WWII veteran, this 
busy soccer pitch honours his legacy. After 
the war, he ran the Warman post office 
while raising his family. Arthur served on the 
Warman School Board from the 1950s until 
the mid 1960s before becoming the first 
Mayor of the Town of Warman. During his 
time in office, he helped connect Warman 
to the Saskatoon telephone system and led 
the development of the sewer and water 
systems. Arthur was committed to making 
Warman a self sustaining community. 
His vision and dedication helped lay the 
foundation for the thriving community 
Warman is today.
Neil Wagner Park
This beautiful park is named after Neil 
Wagner, a longtime Warman resident who 
believed deeply in building a family-focused 
community. A devoted father, Sunday School

families. A successful inventor, farmer, avid 
adventure-seeker and visionary, he played a 
key role in developing the Rockwood area. 
Known for his kindness and generosity, Neil’s 
legacy lives on. In his career, he signed off the 
majority of his correspondence with “Have 
fun,” which is exactly what he would want 
everyone to do in his namesake park.
