KELOWNA CITY PARK REVIEWS

One word simply suits best - Spectacular!!! Beautiful landscape with walking paths beside the lake beach front. Great picnic area with plenty of trees for shade. Lots of playground, separate play area for kids and water pads too. Also sand beach for sun bathing and relaxation. You could also play beach volleyball. Park also has a tennis court. Lots of benches to sit along the walking area incase you get tired or if you just wanna enjoy the view. Lovely view of the marina too. You can walk, ride bicycle, scooter along the path, there's place for everyone. The park also has a public piano. It is one happening and happy place to be at. Highly recommended.

What a fun filled day for the family, reasonably priced, very similar to Splash FX which is what I've been to in my home province although this is a much smaller scale. There are washrooms in the park along with food trucks, and lots of places for a picnic.

Loved it! Such a lovely place close to the shopping area with lots of things to do. There are washrooms available which were nice and clean and lots of space to relax. Also, a really clean beach and park area as well.

KNOX MOUNTAIN PARK REVIEWS

Peaceful place for hiking. Walking and Bicycle both Hike are awesome. The view from the top of the mountain is just eye pleasing. It's worth climbing after reaching the till the peak. If take apex trail and then follow the ogopogo trail that's breathtaking experience. There are also washrooms in middle of trails and dustbins are available in same way.

Wonderful panoramic views! There are two points scenic points for pictures, the first one (below) it's easy to arrive but the second one (up) needs a hike of 30 minutes or bike cause the road for cars is closed. Our hike to the second point of view was really tired since that day was very hot (32 degrees) but worth it because the photos are incredible.

A complete view of the city, good sitting arrangements , enough parking spots. Good for a hangout in the evening and of course a must stop for tourists.

WATERFRONT PARK REVIEWS

This is a really beautiful place, like a portrait. The roads and walkways are designed beautifully that you can enjoy the nature flawlessly. You can do lots of activities, like walking, biking, boating, etc. Swimming is not allowed in this area, I believe. You will be amazed after visiting this site. Parking is paid and sometimes hard to find a suitable spot.

Really beautiful place to hang out. Especially in the warm evenings after dinner. Every time we are out there the waterfront park area is a visit. Really clean, really friendly and just a wonderful place. Highly recommend the area. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect place to walk and ponder. Lovely views. Made me want to move to Kelowna.
