Peach Orchard Park – Summerland
There are a lot of different areas to choose from at this waterfront park. You can grab a stretch of grass close to the water, snag a picnic table, or claim a spot on the beach. This park is perfect for bigger family gatherings thanks to the covered group picnic area. And, if you need to work off some of that potato salad, there’s a lakeside walkway. Bathroom facilities, a floating dock, a swimming beach, a doggie beach, and a splash park all make this a great spot for long, leisurely picnic.
Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park – South of Summerland
You can find a table in the trees, on the grass, on the beach; romantically secluded or in a cluster for groups. There are also plenty of areas to lay out a picnic cloth on either the grass or sand. There are also good facilities here, a nice swimming beach, and lots of chirping birds to help you forget that you are steps from the highway. If you like to picnic with your pooch, there’s an entirely separate dog beach you’re going to love.
See Ya Later Ranch – Okanagan Falls
You can’t beat the scenery from this winery picnic area! See Ya Later Ranch is located above Okanagan Falls with a long view out over the vineyard of Okanagan Lake. It’s stunning. The picnic area offers both tables and grassy areas in the garden. You can also choose a shaded spot if you’re not a sun-lover. The best part – you can purchase a bottle of wine at the wine shop and enjoy it right away.
Christie Memorial Park & Kenyon Park – Okanagan Falls
Picnicking at this park is like getting two parks in one – both on the lake. To the East, you have Christie Memorial Park with its grassy area dotted with massive weeping willow trees that just beg to be napped under. Right next door, you have kid-friendly, Kenyon Park with a splash park and playground and lots of grass to run around on. Plus, there’s a covered picnic area that is great for big families or groups. There are good facilities here, a shallow swimming area, and you’re only a block from the main strip in case you forgot something.
Skaha Lake Park – Penticton
Recognized among Canada’s top beaches, Skaha Lake Park offers outdoor fun for everyone. It’s a prime spot for playing in the sand or swimming in the warm waters of Skaha Lake.
This 21-acre park offers a variety of year-round recreational opportunities, from playgrounds and ball courts to watersports.
Don’t want sand in your toes? Take the kids to the splash pad or go for a stroll along the promenade to scope out the views across the lake.
Fire pits are also available for use, with limitations.
