8 Nature & Parks in Central City That You Shouldn't Miss
Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

The walk around the park offers beautiful views of the Okanagan Lake and surrounding mountains. In the park there is plenty to children to do; offering a number of play areas. The park also has a public washroom facility that is in a decent condition for how public washrooms go. The park is very well maintained and offers large green spaces to sunbathe and also sandy beaches when you can chill out or swim in the lake. The pier is really cool to walk on and view the boats and head out further into the lake. In addition the walkway around the park is perfectly flat for bike riding.

A bit tricky to find, this little gem of a park is truly the best spot in downtown Kelowna! It's a tranquil, beautifully designed, well maintained respite from the hustle and bustle of the lake shore crowds. Lovely koi pond, elegant bridges, delicate colour play of all the various foliage, bonsai trees in various stages of cultivation - lots of photo opportunities, especially with the intricate light of a sunset. No corner left unattended - everything is lovingly thought through, down to the ground-covering ivy. Make sure you take a free brochure that will explain what kinds of plants and trees you encounter: fascinating and educational. Lots of benches provided: I may be tempted to bring a tea and a book here next time. At any rate, I shall make it my mandatory stop in Kelowna from now on!

Such a lovely walk along the lake promenade!! It's a wide sidewalk along the Marina, for every age and dogs on leash. In summer this is the promenade to stroll on with the whole family. Plus you can stop at the popular Cactus Club restaurant for lunch or dinner. In WINTER the Park has a SKATING RINK with a skate rental van, and a few food trucks servicing the skaters and visitors --as well many days they have a little outdoor fire to warm up around. Take a photo with our spirit bear sculpture.
