Strathcona Beach Park playground will remain closed until Wednesday, May 6, after vandalism damaged fencing that construction crews were installing. The fencing is part of a project to create a safer, more supportive space for neurodivergent park users.
The playground had previously remained open evenings and weekends during the construction period. Now the City of Kelowna says the site will be fully closed so the project can be completed safely and without further delays.
According to the City, closing the site allows crews to protect in‑progress work and complete the project as efficiently and safely as possible.
