Each year the park hosts an annual Saskatoon Exhibition variably called "The EX" (previously it was known as Pioneer Days).

Some events held are the Western Canadian Crop Production Show, Glow Saskatoon, Gardenscape, and the Prairieland Junior Ag Showcase.

The organization that became Prairieland Park dates back to 1886 when the earliest exhibition was held in the brand-new community of Saskatoon.

In 2008 the park started a major $2.8 Million expansion to build 27.000-square-foot (2.5084 m2) agriculture and equine centre plus an attached 45,000-square-foot (4,200 m2) stabling facility for year-round use.
