Area parks

• Ashworth – Holmes Park (12.68 acres) derived its name from John H. Holmes and John Ashworth. These realtors of the early 1900s purchased most of the land now named the Caswell Hill Subdivision. (Their purchase was bordered by Idylwyld to Avenue H and 22nd to 29th Streets) They subdivided the land and sold it, but donated 10 acre to the City which became this park area. [This isn't actually possible, because the Ashworth-Holmes park lies outside of the bounds mentioned above. It is bound by 30th and 31st Streets.]

Swimming facilities

• Mayfair Swimming Pool – 1025 Ave F North – pool with mini waterslide

Transportation

City transit

Caswell Hill is serviced by City Transit Bus Routes and since 1913, has housed the city's original streetcar building at Avenue C and 24th Street. The city transit headquarters afterwards adopted these buildings for bus warehouse garages and offices between Avenue C and D at 24th Street. A seven million CA$ consultant plan has been approved by the Saskatoon planning and operations committee to relocate the transit bus barns. The Caswell neighbourhood will be revitalized by renovating the 13 acre area with a community for artists and musicians enhanced with a music festival.{{Cite news | author-link =
