“Our hope was always to be in the heart of Riverside Park, so this really is a dream come true,” White added of the new location. “We’re so incredibly grateful for our partners at the city who helped make this fantastic location a reality for us, right in the centre of where all the action happens.”

White said Tourism Kamloops envisions using the space as a create a centralized hub where both visitors and locals can get information and recommendations about events and other happenings in Kamloops.

“Our team is teeming with all the exciting things to do and experience here in Kamloops,” White added. “We love to share it with visitors and locals so they feel like they can be armed and ready to enjoy Kamloops and all that it has to offer.”

Okanagan Affordable Rentals will be at the park with kayak and paddle board rentals as well as lawn games and – for the first time ever – roller skate rentals.

“The skating loop will be in action all summer long, which is fantastic,” White said, referencing the popularity of the inaugural season at the outdoor skating loop.

Tourism Kamloops will also be operating the city’s free bike valet allowing people to leave their bikes and strollers in a secure location while they’re enjoying Riverside Park.

“It’s a mix of visitors and locals coming in to enjoy this beautiful park space and the river space and the beach area all summer long,” White said. “We love to connect with everybody as best as we can to share insights and perspectives on what they can do here.”
