  Excellent beach front, with a great playground. Public facilities were very well kept. Spent two days here and it was great. We enjoyed it more on this side.

  This is one of the most pristine, functional lakefront parks you'll find. It offers a large clean, red sand beach, fire pits seasonal, public washrooms (handicap as well), dog friendly areas and free doogie-doo bags for the convenience of walking your dog and picking up after its duty is done to keep the park clean. A vast area of green space, including picnic tables, volleyball nets, tennis courts and kid's playgrounds. Ample parking, including handicapped spaces, a concession stand during summer months, a very large gazebo for local musicians/bands for music in the park, trees beautify the area as well. It offers a wide, paved boardwalk (with many park benches and streetlighting) that extends from one end of the beach to the other, covering the entire beach front and is used extensively and also allows evening walking. You'll see many ducks, Canada geese and seagulls in this area, so bring along some mixed grains and seeds to feed them. The only reason I gave this park a 4 out of 5 stars is because the concession stand is only open in summer months, so if you plan to spend an afternoon in the park, you'll have to bring your own hydration and food.

  Beautiful sandy beach, grassy area, playground, volleyball court. Stupid city council keeps trying to carve off pieces and turn over to private parties for things like big water parks and concession stands. It would be insane to ruin such a jewel like that.

  My wife and i love this park! We walk our dog here yearround. Several nice beaches, lots of green space for picnics, a small marina, 3 tennis courts, 7 really great sandy beach volleyball courts, and several area for kids. We moved to the south end of Penticton just to be near the park. In my opinion it is the best place in town for a variety of free outdoor activities. As an added bonus you can fish for bass just a few minutes walk from the park! A few large wind storms knocked down a lot of big old trees a few years back but the city did a nice job replacing those with a variety of trees that are maturing nicely.
