City Park – Hot Sands Beach

Washrooms and change rooms are on site, and the water is tested by Interior Health through the summer. The City Park lot off Abbott Street is pay parking (291 spaces, $1.50 an hour, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily in summer), and its gate is locked from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Dogs can use the on-leash and off-leash dog run in the park but not the beach.

Kal Beach
Kal Beach and the Rotary Pier are a perfect stop for the whole family to enjoy a day in the sun on Kalamalka Lake.

Washrooms and a parking lot make arriving easy. The District of Coldstream does not list Kal Beach among the parks where dogs are permitted.

Kin Beach
Kin Beach is the easy option on Okanagan Lake: a grassy park where the kids can play on the jungle gym and splash in the shallow water while the adults strike up a volleyball game or settle in at the picnic shelter with a snack. It keeps a family afternoon simple, with washrooms on site. Dogs are not permitted on the beach. The adjoining Canoe Beach on Lakeshore Road is a separate RDNO park operated in partnership with the Okanagan Indian Band; dogs are not permitted on that beach either, but are allowed on leash along its pathway.

Marshall Fields
Marshall Fields is a large City of Vernon park on Okanagan Landing Road, home to ball diamonds, a full-size soccer field, tennis and basketball courts.

Paddlewheel Park
Paddlewheel Park Beach is a local favourite, and for good reason: it is built for a full-day family outing. Swim from the beach, then move between the playground, the basketball, tennis and volleyball courts and the picnic shelter, with plenty of shade and washrooms close by. A public boat launch shares the park, so expect boats coming and going; launching a trailered boat needs a pass ($10 per day or $60 per season, also valid at Coldstream’s Kalavista launch). Dogs are not permitted on the beach.

Parkinson Recreation Centre
Parkinson Recreation Centre, the City of Kelowna's main rec centre close to downtown, has a 25-metre pool and a children's play pool for drop-in public swims, plus a hot tub, steam room, gymnasiums and a fitness centre, so it's a handy, low-cost rainy-day swim. Swim times change, so check the city's pool schedule first. Outside, the Basil Meikle courts add 12 outdoor pickleball courts and 6 tennis courts.
Play: 12 outdoor pickleball and 6 tennis courts (Basil Meikle) outside

Skaha Beach
Skaha Beach is Penticton’s family beach and, by the City’s account, ranked among the top beaches in Canada: a long stretch of sand on a calm lake with warm water, backed by Skaha Lake Park and its playgrounds, water park, sand volleyball courts and tennis courts. Seasonal mobi-mats and mobi-chairs make the sand and water reachable for wheelchair users, and two beach fire pits near the volleyball courts can be used when the seasonal fire rings are out.
