Located on Central Avenue N., near North Industrial Drive. The Pines Drive-In opened in 1951, and was operated by Famous Players and finally by an independent operator, who closed it around 2005. It could accomodate 350 cars.

IN 1956 The Pines drive in held 400 cars and was owned by P.W. Mahon who owned the PRINCE ALBERT Drive in.it held 300 cars.
A Prince Albert Now article from July 21, 2011 had a photo of the sturdy Pines screen being torn down. It said the drive-in’s “first owner was Andrew Russel in 1951.” It changed hands many times and had been idle “since the mid 2000s, after the last show played on the big screen many years ago.”
Same drive-in? Motion Picture Herald, April 24, 1954: “Two Saskatchewan drive-in theatres - the Valley drive-in at Fort Qu ‘Appelle and Webb’s drive-in, near Prince Albert - will not open this season.”
