Water St Boat Launch - Lot #602

Can be busy but was good while I was there

Located adjacent to downtown Kelowna, this waterfront park is a beautiful place to walk around and spend a leisurely afternoon in or engage in diverse activities including swimming, sunbathing, watersports, beach volleyball etc. We found an added attraction this time – an inflated floating playground on the lake for the kids. This park has a nice boardwalk, lots of green space, and offers a wonderful view of Okanagan Lake along with the floating bridge. We were lucky to be with a flock of Canadian Geese wandering on the grass in a very close proximity.Depending on the time (and date) of the year, various street performances can also be watched here viz. magic shows, music / dance performance, kids plays etc (we watched some during our earlier visit). A very enjoyable leisurely afternoon stroll in the park can easily be turned into a fun-filled evening with food and drinks as there are a number of restaurants and pubs offering a wide choice of cuisines within minutes of walking distance, mostly located on Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna. We really enjoyed spending our time here during our stay in Kelowna.

Big boat launch but very limited space to park truck and trailer

A really good boat launch but can be very busy during summer. On the busy summer holidays they do have a boat valet service and a prep lane to get your boat ready while you wait your turn. Also excellent pay parking for trailer/boat and vehicle and single vehicle, its run by the city and fairly inexpensive. Also has public washrooms and great restaurants near by.
