Regional Parks

Due to continued dry conditions and rising temperatures, the fire danger rating in Regional District of Central Okanagan regional and community parks is now high (level 4).

The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) is welcoming the community to Wonders of Water on Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mission Creek Regional Park. This free community event offers a fun, hands-on way for people of all ages to learn about the importance of clean, healthy water systems.

When we visit a park, it feels like a place to relax, walk or gather with family. For wildlife, it is something else entirely. It is home.

The Mission Creek Greenway Bypass Trail at KLO Road will be closed Wednesday, February 11, through Friday, February 13

Burning will continue as conditions allow throughout the open burning season, which typically runs until April 30, 2026.

With spring on the horizon and the final weeks of winter winding down, the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) is encouraging residents to enjoy the longer days and renewed energy of the season with the release of its new parks program guide.
