The city wants feedback to help finalize plans to enhance Rutland Recreation Park.
They include a new artificial turf field and transportation improvements.
“Working with residents in their local areas is crucial for designing and creating active spaces that meet the needs of the community,” said Keith Pinkoski, planner specialist with the city. “This is the opportunity to share input on these plans to make sure Rutland Recreation Park remains a vibrant and inviting space for everyone.”
The public is invited to share their thoughts on sports fields, Hartman Road bike facility improvements and Rutland’s new neighbourhood bikeway.
Participants can enter in a draw for one of two $50 local gift cards.
There is an open house at the park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 22 or input can be provided on the City of Kelowna website.
The artificial turf field, including lighting, will provide nearly three times more playing time annually over normal grass fields.
The Rutland Neighbourhood Bikeway will connect to Rutland Recreation Park, Rutland Secondary School and the Okanagan Rail Trail.
It will will be the first neighbourhood bikeway in the city.
New bicycle facilities for Hartman Road will support and improve connections between Rutland Recreation Park, the future Rutland Neighbourhood Bikeway, and Rutland Road.
Public engagement is available until July 7.
