About the projects
We created our first Parks Master Plan in 2010 and updated it in 2016, while our first Recreational Trails Master Plan was developed in 2013. These plans have helped us achieve projects such as CNR Wharf improvements, Annette Beaudreau Amphitheatre, playground additions, field and court upgrades, and much more.
Since parks and recreational trails are closely linked, we are updating the Parks Master Plan and the Recreational Trails Master Plan together. Since the last update, West Kelowna has grown, our world has changed, and you have shared new ideas. Now, it’s time to update the Parks and Recreational Trails Master Plans to reflect the West Kelowna of today!
Phase 1 of the process (completed in 2023) identified ideas for parks and recreational trails, that were then used to shape the draft plan recommendations and actions to support local, publicly accessible, and affordable outdoor recreation opportunities in balance with available resources.
