Community Parks and Recreation Areas

The City of Penticton used part of its gambling revenue in 2023 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.
