Due to the special air quality statement issued by Environment Canada, recreation and culture will be moving tonight’s ‘Evening Park Play Day’ indoors to the Mar Jok Elementary School Gym in West Kelowna.

Signage will be posted at Smith Creek Park, where the Evening Park Play Day was originally to take place. The Park Play Day program is a free, casual drop-in program for children and their parents/caregivers. Each Park Play Day provides a variety of fun activities for children from two years old to eight years old and adults to take part in including an active craft and lots of equipment to develop sport literacy skills.
