In 2006, Plains bison from Elk Island National Park in Alberta were reintroduced to Grasslands.
By 2015 the herd had grown from the original 71 animals to over 300.
The herd is maintained on a 181 km² section in the park's West Block.
On October 2, 2009, in a ceremony at Belza House, the park was declared a dark-sky preserve, and a small population of black-footed ferrets was reintroduced into the prairie dog towns after a 70-year absence.
Improved night-lighting practices under the dark-sky agreement ensure that the park remains dark at night, preserving a natural environment for all nocturnal wildlife.

The park annually receives about 12,000 visitors.
Its official name in French is Parc national des Prairies.
