Title: Kelowna’s Mission Creek Playground Replacement Project Postponed to Spring 2025

Kelowna Capital News

Kelowna, B.C. – The eagerly anticipated playground renewal project at Mission Creek Regional Park has faced a setback, with the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) announcing a delay until spring 2025. This decision comes in response to the need for additional time to evaluate accessibility standards, scheduling, and material availability.

The project, which was scheduled to commence on September 9th, has been postponed to allow for a more thorough review of the community’s concerns and to ensure the highest quality of outcome for the playground replacement. The closure of the playground and rope swing area was originally planned to run from September 9th to October 4th, but it will now remain open indefinitely until further notice.

The last update to the playground was 12 years ago. In 2023, the RDCO took the initiative to engage with the community by conducting a survey to gather residents’ opinions on the replacement. The survey received an overwhelming response, with over 225 participants offering their feedback.

This extra time will ensure that we can address the community’s concerns effectively, stated a release from the RDCO. The Regional District has expressed its appreciation for the community’s input and patience as it works towards delivering the best possible result for the playground project.

For those looking to stay updated on this project, the RDCO encourages residents to sign up for their newsletters or follow them on social media for the latest information.

As the region awaits the rejuvenation of Mission Creek Regional Park’s playground, the RDCO’s commitment to community engagement and quality assurance is evident. The delay is a testament to the importance of considering all factors to create a space that the entire community can enjoy.
