The City of Kelowna is thrilled to start construction on the new Parkinson Recreation Centre. As the construction process has begun, equipment and workers are on site, which may cause impacts on or near the site. The existing PRC remains open and accessible during construction of the new facility.
What to Expect
-
The Apple Bowl is open for use; however, access from Burtch Road will be restricted and the Apple Bowl parking lot off Burtch Road will be out of service.
-
The parking lot off Spall Road in the NE corner of Parkinson Recreation Park (closest to the tennis courts) will be maintained but slightly reduced. If you are planning to use or visit the Apple Bowl this is the recommended parking lot to use.
-
