Manitobogga, a multi-level toboggan slide located at St. Vital park, has received an Award of Merit at the 2022 Prairie Design Awards and a 2020 Award of Excellence from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. It was recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 2019, as well as by the International Paralympic Committee, in acknowledgment of its barrier-free and universally accessible design.
