The Phase 1 portion of Rose Valley Regional Park will reopen on February 28. Visitors should be aware that while recovery salvage harvesting in the adjacent area is nearing completion, further preparation to remove the fallen trees will occur during the first two weeks in March.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan asks that the public stay out of the closed areas of the park and observe all barricades and signs.
“We would like to thank the public for their cooperation in staying out of the closed areas where crews continue to work. With spring on its way, regrowth and revegetation will fill in the affected areas in addition to replanting of native species,” says Wayne Darlington, Manager of Parks Capital Planning and Asset Management.
