Mayfair started out as a community outside of the villages of Riversdale, Nutana and Saskatoon and appears as its own place name on a map of 1907.

Within the Lawson Suburban Development Area (West Side), the neighbourhood of Mayfair is bounded to the south by 33rd Street East, the north by Circle Drive.

[7] Prior to the completion of the first stage of Mayfair School, pupils of the district were accommodated in temporary frame structures.

In January 1919, the Board realized that the use of the framed buildings would no longer meet the accommodation needs of the Mayfair district.

Architects, Webster, Forrester and Scott, and contractor W.C. Wells, were involved in the project which was opened in September 1959.

[11] The Mayfair community is located adjacent to the Kelsey campus of Saskatchewan Polytechnic to the southeast.

The park was built on land acquired by the City of Saskatoon for non-payment of taxes, It is located on 37th St. between Avenues D and F. It is a legacy of the pre-war boom and bust as land speculators found themselves unable to sell off their properties and in many cases simply allowed ownership to revert to the City.

It is a main thoroughfare through the city connecting Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
