Portion of Mission Creek Greenway reopening ahead of schedule

Mission Greenway opening

A portion of Mission Creek Greenway Regional Park is reopening ahead of schedule.

Starting Friday, visitors can use the trail between the Cedars and Smoothing Stones bridges.

The trail has been closed upstream from the Hollywood Road trail entrance since March 17 due to work being done on the Cedars bridge. Work was done to repair damage from previous flooding and ahead of the spring freshet.

“Later this summer, the second phase of work will see in-stream bank repairs and reconstruction, ecological restoration and installation of rip rap protection in the vicinity of the bridge,” reads a release from the Regional District of Central Okanagan.

Once work is complete, the project will provide visitors with:

  • An improved trail along this section of the Greenway
  • New boardwalks
  • Enhanced natural vegetation
  • Important bridge asset and infrastructure protection
