Skaha Lake Park is beautiful. It’s situated along the north shore of Skaha Lake and is home to the Penticton’s annual Dragonboat Festival, my personal favourite festival. Just enjoyed my first festival since COVID changed our world. So happy to be back on the water with friends from near and far. Congratulations to the festival organizers on another successful and enjoyable weekend of Dragonboating fun.

My sister and I decided to go for a picnic at Skaha Lake Park. Although a little windy, we decided to walk to this lovely beach. As we neared the lake, the wind became more powerful and whipped the water into rough waves. We set up at a table near the Vallarta Grill en La Playa. After ordering our food, we turned our attention to the lake and enjoyed watching five wind surfers as they skimmed over the water, their colourful sails carrying them over the waves. Joining them were seven brave souls parasailing across the lake surface. Their watercraft sported very colourful rigging of different shapes and various designs on these sails. They rode the waves and became airborne at times, giving those that watched them an enjoyable show. After we finished our picnic lunch, we walked long the sandy beach before heading home. It’s wonderful to live in such a beautiful place where one can enjoy swimming, boating, water skiing or watch others as they surf or sail the lake.

The park is great, we were here during “lock down” and used the park to picnic and just hang out and read books, they have great picnic tables and good benches along the waterfront. It was just the start of beach volleyball season and a few teams were our, the courts are in great shape, well maintained. The park was always clean and serviced.

Stopped here on our way to Vancouver from Kelowna. Really nice beach and the water was great too. Even though it was super smoky we still had a great beach day. Jealous of the people that live in the area and can come here whenever

Came here with our take out lunch with our lawn chairs to eat. Lots of trees providing shade in the park and we ran into the water and back to finish off our quick time here. Really fun and can't wait to return for longer!

Best beach in Penticton, has a park on one side and beach on the other. If you like deep water stay near the marina end by the sundial as it is dredged and drops off quickly ... if you like a long walk to depth then go to Sudbry Beach to the west which is a more family type environment. Parking is at a premium at both so if you go mid afternoon in the summer expect to look for a bit ... also beware the parking cops

If you want to play in the water or lie on the beach this is a great place to visit, but if you are interested in docking a boat, going to a nice restaurant or want to do anything except watch your kids play in the playground or on the most times not working splash pad, this is a lousy place to spend your time!
Having grown up in Vancouver, I'm used to having some options when we visit beaches or parks, and as far as I'm concerned this place just doesn't cut it!

On a beautiful winter morning in February, the park is quiet and you are one with nature. It's beautiful to just stop, relax, take a deep breath and take it all in!

Hi, I did see the odd dog on leash but usually during the quieter part of the day. I do not believe that they encourage dogs on the beach.

Are there any basketball courts? If so, how many and where would they be located?
Written August 1, 2018
Yes there is a basketball court. Best to book ahead I believe through City of Penticton as it is also used for tennis and street hockey.

There is no fee to go in the park. Cost is for Paddle Boarding and Fly Boy. There are food vendors there as well. Tickle Berry's ice cream. Volley Ball, Basket Ball Court and a free outdoor gym (resistance training). Great place for the family. Kids play area.
