Crews are expected to begin the final phase of the reconstruction project at Rutland's Centennial Park next week.

The final phase of construction, which includes an event stage, a basketball court, an ultimate frisbee field, a junior soccer field, ping pong tables, and landscaping, is scheduled to start Wednesday.

Construction of a new washroom is expected to start in the fall.

The final phase is budgeted at $3.3 million.

The remainder of the park will remain open to the public during construction.

Access is available at the Rutland Road entrance.

The City of Kelowna acquired the park from the Rutland Park Society in 2015.

Reconstruction of the park began the following year.
