Discovery Park features a natural playground with boulders for climbing, logs for balancing, swings and an interactive water feature, to list a few highlights. It’s a place for imaginative play, while fostering a child’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. The park opened thanks to various project partners including the South Okanagan Children's Charity.
