The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) is temporarily pausing the play structure renewal project at Mission Creek Regional Park after feedback received over the last few days.
The project start has been delayed until spring 2025 to allow for further evaluation of accessibility standards, scheduling and material availability. This extra time will ensure the RDCO can address the community’s concerns.
The RDCO remains committed to providing safe and enjoyable recreational spaces across the region and looks forward to delivering an upgraded playground that will serve the community for years to come.
For more information and updates on this project, visit rdco.com or go to yoursay.rdco.com.
The playground will remain open until further notice.

Original (September 6th, 2024)
Mission Creek Regional Park playground and rope climbing area will be closed beginning Monday, September 9 through to October 4, 2024, for replacement of the main play structure. The natural adventure playground located east of the Leckie Road entrance will remain open during this time.
To allow for material staging and heavy equipment, a portion of the parking lot will be closed immediately adjacent to the playground. During construction, visitors should expect to hear and see heavy equipment in operation at the site such as skid steers, mini excavators and tandem trucks. Signage and barricades will be in place during the closure. Visitors are asked to obey construction signage and worker direction.
Residents were asked to provide their thoughts about the play structure replacement through a survey in 2023. Results of the survey are available at yoursay.rdco.com.
