The City of Penticton is reminding residents with an interest in Skaha Lake Park to participate in the final round of community engagement, currently underway from February 17 through March 7. Feedback is specifically being sought on the east end of the Park, as envisioned in the draft Skaha Lake Park East Plan which proposes a selection of upgraded or new park amenities, including:
- completing the replacement of the marina docks;
- a refurbishment of the marina building;
- a new and expanded boathouse near the existing footprint;
- a new splash pad;
- an extension of a promenade to the marina building;
- naturalization of the riparian areas; and
- other enhancements to trails and green space.
In addition, residents are also invited to consider new park features such as a licensed restaurant as part of the marina building and an option to relocate the parking lot to increase the greenspace near the shore.
To participate, residents can share their feedback via a combination of online and in-person activities. For details, please visit the City’s community engagement website at www.shapeyourcitypenticton.ca
“As with past community engagement projects, Council is looking forward to receiving the final round of feedback collected on the subject of Skaha Park East,” said Penticton Mayor, John Vassilaki. “We know how much this park means to our residents, so be sure to take part in this last opportunity to help determine the future vision for this eastern section of the park.”
