Armstrong Skate Park
Armstrong's skate park sits right beside the Nor-Val Arena on Park Drive, a short walk from Memorial Park and the outdoor pool. The township calls it perfect for all ages, and it works just as well for bikes and scooters as for skateboards. It has been a local hangout since the early 2000s and is lit for evening sessions.

Armstrong Spallumcheen Outdoor Pool
The Armstrong Spallumcheen Pool is a heated outdoor pool in Memorial Park, open from late May through to the end of summer. Alongside its learn-to-swim programs in July and August, it sets aside public swim times, so it's an easy way to cool off on a hot North Okanagan afternoon. Call the pool for the current public swim schedule.
Closed for the season.

Rose Swanson Mountain Trails
Rose Swanson is a forested Crown-land trail network just outside Armstrong, with roughly 30 km of trails maintained by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Trails Society and volunteers. The main Aspen and Centennial trails form an easy-to-moderate loop of about 5 km, with side loops to the local summits of Mount Rose and Mount Swanson. The viewpoint on Mount Rose is the highlight, looking out over Otter Lake and the north end of Okanagan Lake. Maps are posted at the trailhead and junctions, and it was voted the second-best hiking trail in the 2026 Best of North Okanagan.
Play: Mellow singletrack loops suited to newer mountain bikers
