    Quality kept beach. Shallow until well past the 100 ft swimming dock. Newish facilities. Lots of kids, safe area.

    A great little park with sandy beaches and grassy stretches, a sandy volleyball court and a great dock for jumping into.the shallow waters of Okanagan Lake! Beautiful views of Okanagan Mountain across the lake, too. Parking at the park is limited but there is plenty of street parking in the neighbourhood nearby.

    This is a great park and anyone can enjoy it as long as you respect the surrounding areas and all life, have a super fun day and hope you have a leash for your pets to avoid any unwanted stress to them as well as you.

    Just as beautiful with snow as during the summer. The snow looks like beautiful white sand.

    Nice but busy with boats so there is more Wake there then other beaches.

  • 5/5 aDi 9 months ago on Google
    Nice lovely parks with picnic tables

  • 4/5 Cat B. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a fun beach to go to. Nicely landscaped, it has a playground, a beach volleyball setup and a dock that's usually safe to jump off of if water levels are high enough.

  • 3/5 Randa W. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome park, the kids loved it. Beach is just ok. A lot of debris comes in from so many boats going by and lots of rocks so bring water shoes or sandals to wear in the water. Great wide open view. Dock very popular with older kids and it gets packed so keep your eyes peeled if you have smaller kids near the dock or stay close to them. And yes there are bathrooms!

  • 4/5 Mandie D. 9 months ago on Google
    This is a great beach for families as it is not as busy and definitely more kid friendly. Great for paddle boarding or floating. The beach is more rocky and water shoes are needed to make it more comfortable. Sometimes boats fly by causing wakes so it can get big waves if boaters don't slow down making it interesting for paddle boarding. There is a pier too that you can jump off or lower your into your floaties.

    A beautiful park on the lake with a fantastic beach in a small, secluded neighborhood surrounded by multi-million dollar lake front homes. , washrooms, and volleyball nets. This place imhas everything, and it is extremely easy to see how everyone's taxes go to a small minority.

  • 5/5 Kelly H. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place for a day at the beach. The new playground is amazing. Parking is hard to find if you cone around noon. There is some shade and picnic tables. The volleyball courts get busy fast. It is mostly younger kids until about 1pm.

  • 5/5 Christopher A. 10 months ago on Google
    This not so hidden gem is a favorite of locals. Great for paddle boarding and picnics. Two volleyball courts at your disposal and plenty of grass space for other activities. It's really nice and has enough space for all. Note that the water is shallow from the dock so diving isn't recommended and parking is a premium in terms of space but is free. There's a nice little drop off area to dump your gear off and then find parking.

  • 4/5 Tiffany B. 10 months ago on Google
    The most bustling beach in West Kelowna on hot summer days and evenings. Super fun to jump off the large dock and climb up the ladders. Families looking for "more coverage" and less noise may want to head to Gellatly nut farm beach. Washrooms and playground are much better at Gellatly too.

  • 5/5 Stephanie W. 9 months ago on Google
    This park is amazing! Something for all ages of kids, lots to climb, and beach front.. what more could you want! Slides, swings, a rocking ship… and lots of green space!

  • 4/5 Sven N. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice park to relax in or go for a swim. Doesn't have the most shade and it can get quite busy during the summer, so be ready for some bustle. The swimming area does tend to get various debris floating around some months of the year, but I've never seen it be unacceptable.

  • 4/5 Krista D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rocky but nice and clean with a good sized grass area. Trees for shade. And a dock for the kids to jump off of

  • 4/5 Katia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice neighborhood park on the lake with decent parking, a kid's play area, beach volleyball courts and shade trees. Note that dogs are not allowed in the park. Wish West Kelowna could come up with a few more dog parks/off leash areas. I hate to always have to drive my dog to a park instead of just walking there.

  • 5/5 Carolina C. 3 years ago on Google
    I love the nice sand and the dock in here. Wonderful beach!

  • 5/5 Patrick S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent beach if you want to sneak away from Kelowna. Close to many wineries including Quails Gate and Mission Hill.

  • 4/5 Lori B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice family beach!!! Sand and grass. With extras...Bathroom, picnic tables, volleyball nets, dock! Parking usually full. No rentals

  • 4/5 Cassandra C. 2 years ago on Google
    Love fenced green space with sandy beach, volleyball ball, picnic tables, dock and small washroom. Also has a small playground.

  • 3/5 Paul T. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty nice. Very busy, rocky beach, water was full of pollen or something. Great view though

  • 4/5 Carl H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice small beach. Mix of mostly sand and small rocks (rounded). Some picnic tables and clean public bathrooms 🚻. Suggest wearing water slippers due to lots of small rocks in the water. Very shallow, perfect for kids.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ This is our families favorite place to go when the Okanagan starts to get hot. I went there today because my late oldest son just loved being there in the summer to swim and jump off of the docks and skip rocks.
