Polo Park
Polo Park (corporately styled as CF Polo Park) is a shopping centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is situated on the former Polo Park Racetrack near the junction of Portage Avenue and St. James Street. Its grounds also includes a Scotiabank Theatre (formerly SilverCity), a Party City, and an Earls. The mall is currently anchored by Forever 21, Shoppers Drug Mart, Urban Planet, Sport Chek, Zara, and EQ3. Hudson's Bay, Sears, Zellers, Target and Safeway formerly anchored the mall.
It is the largest mall of the 8 malls in the city, and is the 15th largest shopping centre in Canada, ranking between Guildford Town Centre and Laurier Québec.[citation needed]
For census purposes, Polo Park is also the name given to the neighbourhood including and surrounding the shopping centre.
The Polo Park Mall opened on Thursday, 20 August 1959, and became one of the first enclosed shopping malls in Canada when a roof was added in 1963, the other being the Park Royal Shopping Centre in BC.[citation needed]
The district was once the sports hub of Winnipeg, with the Winnipeg Arena, Canad Inns Stadium, and Winnipeg Velodrome all being located in the Polo Park neighbourhood. The Velodrome was torn down in the 1990s to make way for a strip mall that includes Home Depot and Chapters. The arena and stadium have also since been demolished and replaced by new retail and office complexes.
The former CKY building is situated next to the mall. It used to house the city's CTV Television Network affiliate, CKY-TV, CKY radio, and FM 92 CITI. It was the original home of the WTN network. Corus Radio Winnipeg then occupied the building since 2011, as part of a lease agreement between Corus Entertainment and Cadillac Fairview, with studios for CJOB 680, CFPG-FM 99.1 and CJKR-FM 97.5 are located on the second floor of the three-story building. After the Corus radio stations relocated to 201 Portage by 2021, the facilities would be taken over by the local Evanov Communications radio stations in 2022, involving CKJS-FM, CFJL-FM, and CHWE-FM.
After Sears Canada closed its location in December 2017 due to bankruptcy, the anchor was redeveloped between March 2018 and October 2021 to house new tenants. As of 2023, most of the space is occupied by EQ3 and Zara. Uniqlo will open on the second floor of the vacant Sears space in Spring 2026.
In the spring of 1968, a $7.5-million expansion of Polo Park was completed. The addition brought a three-storey Eaton's department store to the mall, making Polo Park the second largest shopping centre in Canada at the time.
