Turner Park Phase 2 Construction Begins
New Park & Playground Opening June 2025
Peachland, B.C. – Construction is set to begin on Phase 2 improvements at Turner Park in Peachland. In early October, Superior Excavating Services will begin work in the upper tier of Turner Park to install accessible picnic areas, a children’s playground with upgraded washrooms. This phase also includes constructing accessible pathways and picnic tables, benches, and waste receptacles, complemented with vegetation and a shade structure. The parking area will also be improved, the old sports box area replaced with grass and the washroom connected to sanitary sewer. The full project is anticipated to be completed by June 2025. The playground design, below, was chosen through a democratic vote by Peachland Elementary students. The Turner Park Upgrade project is funded through a portion of the $2.7 million received in April from the Province’s Growing Communities Fund and a Jays Care Foundation grant. Turner Park is expected to be fully open, with the field ready for competitive soccer, in Spring 2025. Turner Park remains closed to the public during construction and to allow the sports field turf to be established.
