Walk the Boardwalk and Waterfront Park

Kelowna Bike Rentals
589 Poplar Point Drive
While not directly “downtown”, Kelowna Bike Rentals is the most central spot to rent bikes (for any style or ability!) in the downtown Kelowna area. The best part? When you rent from Kelowna Bike Rentals, all proceeds go towards supporting outdoor recreational youth programming in the community.
Bird Watching at Rotary Marsh
1050 Sunset Drive
A peaceful park located within a quiet wetland area of downtown. Here you can take a stroll on the wooden bridgeways and pathways, bird watch, and connect with nature in this valuable ecosystem. Please note that dogs are not allowed in this area.
Rollerblading in Stuart Park (Ice Skating in the Winter!)
1430 Water Street
Grab your rollerblades and go for a spin in Stuart Park! The concrete is smooth, and the views of the lake and marina are ideal. When winter rolls around you can trade the rollerblades for ice skates when the area turns into an outdoor ice rink.
