A new park was announced to media Wednesday morning in West Kelowna.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan purchased a 52-hectare property along the West Kelowna shoreline to establish the new Goat's Peak Regional Park. The property includes almost 900-metres of waterfront.
The $5-million purchase comes from contributions of local governments to the Regional Parks Legacy and Park Land Reserve Funds.
Regional Board Chair Robert Hobson says, "For many years, residents and various community groups have called on local governments to protect the important waterfront and upland ecosystem of the Goat's Peak Area. Today, through the two Regional Parks' funds, on behalf of all Central Okanagan residents, I'm pleased to announce that we're delivering with the creation of Goat's Peak, saving this land for the enjoyment of future generations."
Hobson adds, "The purchase of this property, for the new regional park, fills a significant gap in the Okanagan Trail 2000 vision for a continuous recreational trail between the Bennett Bridge and Peachland."
The new park will remain closed until at least next summer as the Regional District prepares a management plan and develops trails and signage.
