Polo Park is Winnipeg's largest retail and entertainment district. Situated on the the former Polo Park Racetrack, the Polo Park Mall was one of the first enclosed shopping malls in Canada. The mall of Polo Park has over 200 stores including Zellers, The Bay, Sears and the SilverCity movie theatres.

The district was also the home of the Winnipeg Arena and continues to be the home of the Winnipeg Stadium (now the Canad Inns Stadium]]). The Winnipeg Velodrome was adjacent to the arena and the stadium. It was torn down in the 1990s to make way for a strip mall that includes Home Depot and Chapters.

The CKY building was situated between the stadium and the arena. Until 2006, it housed the CKY TV, affiliate of the CTV network. For many years, it was also the home of CKY Radio and 92 CITI FM. The building was also the original home of the WTN Network.
