The Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 is a rural municipality (RM) that surrounds the City of Saskatoon in central Saskatchewan, Canada. It was formed in 1970 through the amalgamation of three smaller RMs – the RM of Cory No. 344, the RM of Warman No. 374, and the RM of Park No. 375. The RM is bisected by the South Saskatchewan River while the North Saskatchewan River forms part of its northwest boundary. The RM works closely with the Meewasin Valley Authority to protect the South Saskatchewan River valley.
The RM of Corman Park No. 344 is home to a Super Dual Auroral Radar Network radar site operated by the University of Saskatchewan.
The RM of Corman Park No. 344 was formed by the amalgamation of three rural municipalities – the RMs of Cory No. 344, Warman No. 374 and Park No. 375. The three RMs were disorganized on December 31, 1969 to enable the incorporation of the RM of Corman Park No. 344 on January 1, 1970.
Two designated historical properties are located in the RM:
As of the census in 2001, there were 8,093 people living in the RM of Corman Park. By the 2006 census, the population had increased 3.8%, to 8,351. It has by far the largest population of any rural municipality in Saskatchewan, more than double that of the next largest (Buckland No. 491 in 2001; Edenwold No. 158 in 2006). The area immediately surrounding Saskatoon is part of the Saskatoon Regional Health Authority. The South Saskatchewan River flows from the southwest corner to the northeast corner of the RM. Besides the city of Saskatoon, which lies southeast of the RM's centre, the other independently governed communities that are enclaved within the borders of Corman Park are the cities of Martensville and Warman, and the towns of Dalmeny, Langham, and Osler.
