Summit Park Redesign and Reservoir Expansion - Kelowna

Official title: Summit Park and Reservoir

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities
Kelowna is redesigning Summit Park after expanding the water reservoir underneath it. The reservoir expansion is done—now the city is planning how to restore the park above. Construction on the park starts spring 2025, with hopes of reopening by early summer.

Why This Matters

Live in the Dilworth neighbourhood? Your local park is getting a makeover. The community survey already closed, but the design is now available to view. The reservoir expansion means better water pressure and firefighting capacity for the growing area.

What Could Change

Summit Park will be rebuilt based on community feedback from the 2024 consultation. The final design may include new features residents ranked highly. The park should reopen to the public by early summer 2025.

Key Issues

  • What features should be prioritized in the park redesign?
  • How should the park be restored after reservoir construction?

How to Participate

  1. Review the Summit Park drawings and images to see the planned design. Note: The consultation survey has closed, but you can still view the results.
  2. Read the Summit Reservoir & Park Engagement Report to see what the community said.

What Happened

Community consultation was held from March 7-21, 2024, including an online survey and an in-person Walkshop. Residents provided feedback on which park features they would rank most highly in the redesign. A What We Heard report was published in Fall 2024.
