The lower portion of Glen Canyon Regional Park off Gellatly Road will be closed starting September 2nd and will remain closed for up to eight weeks.
Trail upgrades between Gellatly Road and the new bridge span upstream will remain closed until about the end of October. The District of West Kelowna is asking residents to obey all signage and barricades directing people around the area. Other areas of the park will remain open and accessible, including the loop trail that links to Westbank Centre Park, just off May Street.

Much of this work is being funded as part of a grant through the Provincial Government’s Community Recreation Program Trails to Health project. In addition to trail improvements, information and signage, the work will see existing staircases and crib steps replaced and a new parking area established off Gellatly Road.
As a part of this project and a recent parkland management agreement with the District of West Kelowna, the Regional District will upgrade trails through a portion of West Kelowna municipal parkland that will be maintained as a part of Glen Canyon Regional Park trail system.
