Splash pads open ahead of hot weekend

Service Announcement

Penticton’s two splash pads are now open for the season. 

This includes Lakawanna Park near Okanagan Lake Park, as well as Rotary Playworld at Skaha Lake Park. 

The City is reminding families that the splash pad at Skaha Lake has reached the end of its lifespan and is due to be replaced ahead of next season, with a new design and equipment. 

Rather than close the facility this summer, the City has made some minor repairs and is asking users to be cautious as the surface has uneven concrete and may be rough for bare feet. Children are advised to wear water shoes.

The new design is thanks to a contribution from the Rotary Club of Penticton and with a design concept created in partnership with the En’owkin Centre. 

Splash pads are located at: 

  • Rotary Playworld is at the corner of Cypress Street and Elm Avenue, next to an adventure playground and swing set.  
  • Lakawanna Park, at 796 Lakeshore Drive West, also has a swing set and fenced adventure playground. 

Both have picnic tables and public washrooms nearby and are open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily.
