About Julia’s Junction

Julia’s Junction is a realized dream of the Grassmick family and their efforts to create a first-of-its-kind play space in West Kelowna. Inspired by Julia Grassmick, who suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 17 months, the Grassmick family has been the driving force behind the project, partnering with the City to build the municipality’s first fully inclusive playground in Westbank Centre Park.
