Community Parks and Recreation Areas
The City of Penticton used part of its gambling revenue in 2022 to continue supporting investments in parkland. Penticton has a variety of parks and outdoor recreation areas which allow the community to get together for casual gatherings and organized events like performances and festivals. Additional funds were used to maintain and upgrade the city's sports fields.
People of all ages and abilities use these outdoor spaces to play soccer, baseball, slo-pitch, fastball, rugby, field lacrosse and much more.
OSNS Day of Caring Sponsorship
In 2022, Cascades Casino Pentictan helped the Okanagan Similkameen Neurological Society (OSNS) Child and Youth Development Centre's Day of Caring. Volunteers from Cascades Casino helped clean the outdoor areas used for treatment and play, and donated the toys most needed for treatment sessions through a donation matching campaign.
