With today’s busy schedules and increasing demands on your time, it is often difficult to dedicate a regular schedule to your health and well being through sport and recreation. A consistent league night or program time isn’t always an option. The City of Kelowna – Sport and Recreation addresses this issue with a number of ongoing drop-in sports programs for adults at various locations and facilities around Kelowna.
