Skaha Lake Park - East Plan
One of the main priorities of the Parks and Rec Master Plan is the development of a plan for Skaha Lake Park. Recognizing that much of the park is functioning well and there is a pressing need for direction on the future of the marina, boat house and spray park, the Parks and Rec Advisory Committee endorsed narrowing the scope of the plan to the east end of the park. Objectives for this work include:
- Build on directions in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
- Vision for maintenance, operation and/or renewal of aging City facilities & amenities (marina, docks, spray park, boat house)
- Improved connections and integration with the rest of the park
- Strategy to address ecological threats and vulnerabilities
- Recognition of Indigenous relationship to park area
- Gauge support for existing commercial uses in park e.g. support for marina and cafe
- Create foundation for long-term lease for marina operation (Park Dedication Bylaw requires approval of electors)
Residents are encouraged to watch this site for information about this work and opportunities to get involved.

Wildlife and trees must be protected at all costs. Have seen the eradication of turtles, beavers, red wing birds in the name of progress.

No splash park just leave it as green space

Epic (kid friendly) Splash Park
Being a dad of 3 (1, 3, 5) we avoid the splash park on the south side of town. Lakawana is the only one we'd go to because it is fenced. In fact we avoid that whole park because of an incident my wife had last year. How much would it be to put an epic splash park down there and improve the parking? Make it a draw for families to come down there and utilize the space and grass down there. The main goal, I feel, is to make the park used and accessible for more than just 2 months (unlike the water slide idea). Green space, path ways, parking and a draw for families and people out of town. Skaha is one of the best beaches I've ever been to period. Let's not reinvent something that's already world class, just make it better!

Can't any green spaces just be left alone? What a disgrace that the campground was torn down and some ugly development is going in. Terrible
