The large veteran lots located near Broad Street are a unique, historic feature of the neighbourhood. As well, North East is home to the Northgate Mall, Regina’s first enclosed shopping centre.
There have been recent improvements to Dover, St. Anne and Imperial parks. Imperial Park features an outdoor rink, a spray pad, a skateboard pod, picnic area, walking paths and benches. There is a small toboggan hill in St. Anne Park and a play structure in Dover Park.

The North East Community was originally an unincorporated settlement (village) within the Rural Municipality of Sherwood and called North Annex, It was developed around 1915 to provide housing for both railway workers with the Canadian National Railways and industrial workers associated with the Imperial Oil Refinery.
Postwar, the city adopted a de facto metropolitan form of government by annexing the independent village of North Regina in 1951. In both cases, the prime motivating factor in amalgamation was the prospect of getting connected to the city’s water lines for drinking water and sewage for the residents.
