Ring in Spring at City parks throughout West Kelowna

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday, April 6, 2023

Goodbye winter and hello spring! We are welcoming the warmer weather as City of West Kelowna crews are getting all of our outdoor spaces ready for you to enjoy.

Throughout the City you will find our crews improving parks and playgrounds, opening sports courts and athletic fields and continuing to sweep streets.

By April 15, crews will aim to have prepped and re-opened:

• Our athletic fields
• Boucherie and Lakeview pickleball and tennis courts
• Beach volleyball courts
• Skatepark
• Seasonal restrooms and portable washrooms

The Kids Care Spray Park in Westbank Town Centre Park is scheduled to re-open in mid-May.

Throughout the season, parks users may also occasionally find some areas temporarily out of bounds as crews conduct ongoing cleaning, maintenance, and repairs. Look out for our busy bees as they:

• Maintain playgrounds
• Mow and trim weeds
• Fix and reset irrigation
• Resod, overseed and fertilize sports fields
• Install banners and hanging flower baskets
• Clean and maintain the Multi-sport Dome
• Trim trees

If you see anything that needs attending to in our parks, we are here to help! Submit service requests online at westkelownacity.ca/servicerequest.
