Take a walk in the park
If you want to take the family on a gentle stroll to see some natural beauty, you might want to check out Osoyoos Lake Regional Park. This serene area is located on the east side of Osoyoos Lake at 16th Avenue and 45th Street.
Another fun place to take the kids is the Osoyoos splash park in Jack Shaw Gardens (located at 89th Street and Kingfisher Drive). It's the perfect spot to cool off on a warm day.
Head down to sẁiẁs Provincial Park (formerly known as Haynes Point) for more hiking and other recreational opportunities. This scenic playground occupies 38 hectares of land, and is situated on Osoyoos Indian Band territory. For this reason, it was renamed in 2015 to reflect the park's First Nations heritage and its original name. It is considered a valuable archeological and historical site, so it is a top attraction for RVers and other guests. In fact, it is so popular that campers may only reserve a site there for a maximum of seven days in each calendar year. Reservations can be made through BC Parks’ Discover Camping reservation system.
