Kelowna City Park

Beautiful park to attend events or just walk around with your dog and family. Lots of open green space, ample parking and connected to beautiful Hot Sands Beach which has an iconic view of the bridge for pics. Busy in summer with tourists, understandably. Ice cream nearby, the lake to swim in... pack a picnic and spend the day.

Kelowna City Park is an absolute gem! It's perfectly situated right on the lake, offering beautiful sandy beaches, a great playground for kids, and lots of green space for picnics. The walk along the water is fantastic, and it’s always clean and well-maintained. A perfect place to spend a sunny Okanagan afternoon!

Kelowna is a beautiful city filled with natural charm — there are plenty of parks, beaches, and outdoor activities to enjoy. Whether you’re walking along the lake, relaxing on the beach, or exploring local trails, it’s definitely a place worth visiting. One of the highlights nearby is Knox Mountain. There’s free parking, and you can hike up to the first viewpoint for stunning views of the lake and the city. There’s also a trail leading to Paul’s tomb, which adds a bit of adventure for those who enjoy hiking and exploring nature. Just note: Knox Mountain Park is open seasonally during the summer and usually closes by 8 p.m., so plan your trip accordingly. Another beautiful spot is Bertram Creek Regional Park, located along the lake. It’s a peaceful place for walking, picnicking, or just enjoying the views. It’s clean, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty — a perfect place to unwind. Overall, Kelowna and the surrounding area offer an amazing mix of lake views, mountain trails, and relaxing parks. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking for a calm and scenic getaway.

It's an amazing place if You bring lots of money to blow. The beaches are great and lake ave beach was dog friendly and probably one of the nicer ones for dog parents. Perfect for families and couples NOT wanting to leave our beautiful country. Lots of drug addicts and homelessness but that comes with any city these days because of our weak Liberal government

The park has everything you would want in an urban park and with the addition of the new dog park it is even better. About 200 meters of the waterfront is being refurbished and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

Kelowna City Park is such a lovely spot! The park is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing day outdoors. The waterfront views are beautiful, and there are plenty of walking paths, picnic areas, and green spaces to enjoy. Great for families, friends, or just some quiet time in nature. Definitely a must-visit when in Kelowna!

Kelowna City Park is such a beautiful and well-maintained spot! It’s clean, organized, and perfect for both daytime and evening walks. The atmosphere is relaxing, with lots of space to enjoy the views, fresh air, and nature. A great place to spend time with family or just take a peaceful stroll by the lake. Highly recommended!

Awesome park with a splash pad, kids play structure, skate park, beach and a on the water activity park. Change rooms and washroom are available. The only downside is trying to find a parking spot. Might have to park outside the park and walk.

I love the downtown. It's super peaceful and the sunset is just stunning! Definitely take a stroll here :) and enjoy the sunset. There are plenty of benches at the park.

Whenever I am in Kelowna (which admittedly has become less and less over the recent years) I have to come to City Park. Located right downtown it is a huge green space right along the lake. In summer it is bustling with people who have come to go to the beach, relax in the park or go for a nice walk, run or bike ride. It is a great place to run because the path is right along the lake so you're treated to nice views and due to its size you can cover a decent distance for your workout. They still have the Ogopogo (the mythical creature who lives in the lake statue and the fountain with the dolphins. Let me tell you that these have been there a LONG time (at least since I was a child). They add a nice little touch to the park. Also since my most recent visit was in December the city has set up an outdoor skating rink which looked like a lot of fun. You could rent skates if you didn't have them and it just looked like a good way to

Great park, decent size and there's a beach there. Lots of parking, although it still gets pretty packed even on weekdays. Have to pay for parking though. Lots of people at all times. Nice grass areas and the beach have no lifeguards but it's all organized and clean. A couple restrooms and it's pretty clean too. The doors are magnet so just push harder to open it. Not hard to find and great view. Several benches here and there. In downtown so close to cafes, restaurants, and other stores. Pretty convenient area too! I always enjoy my time here.

Nice park. Its by the water and its just relaxing to take a stroll here. As well this park is very close to Ogopogo. Which means its close to restaurants. Very beautiful city. Very clean.

When I met him, the second time. He bought some trinkets, Some art for his girlfriend, And gave me some whiskey. She is no longer around. But I still follow him, Everywhere.

This place is really nice...the beachfront is really relaxing with families about and people hanging out. There is a lot of grass for picnics and volleyball nets and even a water park for the kids. The waves crash, there are a few sidewalk vendors, and there's a marina. Next to the park is the city center, which you can window shop, grab some ice cream and people watch. Street parking is cheap (50 cents an hour), although can be difficult to find. All that's required is a sunny day, a will to walk around and hang out, and maybe your swimming clothes and you'll have a great relaxing day.

PERFECT park for families - between the dry park with a zip line, the huge spray park, the kid-friendly beach, the wibit (affectionately known as the wipe-out course by my kids), the indoor bathrooms and the food trucks, this was an amazing day for parents & kids alike. The wibit is a little expensive - $25 per kid, but they can go on all day (it's exhausting!). Tons of grassy or sandy areas to lay out your beach blanket. Pro mom tip: bring water shoes instead of flip flops!

City Park has so much to offer, shade, sunshine, beach, spray park, food...my personal favorite the Wibit Obstacle Course. We travelled through the Okanagan over Canada Day Weekend and saw these Wibit Water Parks in a few different cities. I finally convinced my boyfriend that we should go to one in Kelowna and we were SO glad we did!!! We had an absolute blast, we felt like little kids but also ninja warriors! We spent about 2 hours on the park, there are so many obstacles to try out, you'll be feeling muscles you didn't know you had! We are two adults with disposable income so for us $25.00 is reasonable...however, I don't know how some of the family's afforded it as there didn't seem to be family prices or discounts for kids. As adults, we were definitely the minority on the park, I think it would be cool if Wibit offered adult only times as it made me nervous that I was going to accidentally run into one of the many kids on the park. There were also a number of crying children, we helped one little girl who couldn't get back on the park after falling off. Even with the flooding and consequent sandbags/smaller than usual beach, City Park was a great stop on our trip. FYI-there seemed to be a lot more questionable people than in my past visits, we just steered clear of them and didn't have any problems.

In the heart of downtown Kelowna, this beachfront public park on Lake Okanagan has a long sandy beach with a change room and washroom facilities, a playground, a picnic area, as well as other ammenities. It even has a statue of the Ogopogo (the lake's "Loch-ness" monster) that kids can climb on. Bustling with people and families on a warm day, it is a good place to experience the nice friendly feeling of Kelowna and enjoy the view of the lake although it is more touristy than some of the other parks in the area and requires utilizing the paid parking options downtown.

This is for the Wibit Park only... Pros... Like a ninja warrior course Beautiful scenery City Park is gorgeous All participants must use life jackets Go early at 10 am if you have young kids. It gets super busy by 1-2 pm and in the evening the Wibit Park is full of teenagers. Cons... Not suitable for most children under 9 years of age Upon check in, staff were already trying to reroute us to Peachland were it is supposedly "less busy". There should be a maximum number of participants on the Wibit. They need more supervision on the Wibit helping kids that cannot get up, who are scared or stuck. The lifeguard wasn't even watching the participants most of the time but instead watching the lake on the other side. Parents should be able to go on with their kids if needed even if your child is older than 7 and not have to pay. Safety first! Staff were trying to collect life jackets before we were done. While taking a lunch break, staff felt they should take the "unused" life jackets. There is a pool of water in the middle of the Wibit Park with no ladder or lower mat to help get out. If you get stuck there, you need help to get out. Even most adults. Would we go back? No, probably not.

For a city that has screwed up a lot of things in terms of sustainable planning, one thing it didn't screw up was this city park. Grass, meeting areas, massive trees that they didn't rip down, some sand depending on how much water has run off. A great place to stroll, ride your bike, or chill out. The one thing that is really weird is the casino, and next to that the massive mill that exports wood to Japan. The park wins bonus points but the other two severely make you wonder who's in charge of this city and if their vision is actually interested in the future of it after leaving such scars and pollution.

Let me crystalize how long it's been since being in Kelowna: the last time I was here, Fred Flintstone punched me in the face. Early 80s, going back a ways. I also remember the Ogopogo statue that snaked out of the grass, and holy hell, it's still there. I don't recognize anything else. The lake is beautiful, the walk is divine, and thankfully, parking is free. And it's bloody hot, that's climate change for you. The beach is long, but not wide, and the majority of areas are not compatible with swimming. Most of the time, it's a boat dock, and expensive ones. There's even a water-lock separating the natural lake from a fabricated one leading to expensive homes, like a snap-shot of Venice. An unspoiled and well-built boardwalk fringes much the water, leading you almost to the exit of downtown. With amazing shopping streets across from the park featuring dozens of restaurants, this part of Kelowna is a must-see for anyone even passing through. I'm glad the Ogopogo statue is still there, though overwhelmed by newer, and apparently whiter, exhibits, so give it some love when passing.

Spring has arrived in Kelowna. The sun was out in full force today, this Park is so nice to walk and enjoy along the lakes edge. If this is a city park, while the city sure does at nice job keeping it up. All the patio's along the way are open. I really love Kelowna.

Perfect location right on the strip of downtown Kelowna. Just a few feet away from restaurants & shops.
