HOLIDAY PARK RESORT Find fun at this 67-acre playland
Founded in 1983 by Saul Sigal and Jody LaFontaine on the shores of Duck Lake just north of Kelowna, British Columbia, Holiday Park Resort has grown from an empty field to a year-round destination for travelers, vacationers, retirees and permanent residents. A strong team of 60-75 full and part-time employees is dedicated to ensure that everyone who visits or lives here year-round enjoys all the resort has to offer. It used to be impossible to miss the turn in for the resort. Visitors were told to “Just turn where the 70-ton sailing ship sits.” The boat served as the famous landmark for Holiday Park Resort until April 1, 2020, when tragically, the historic landmark was lost to fire. Once onsite you’ll never be bored, unless you want to be. The resort is divided into three sports centers, each with pools and hot tubs. The Family Activity Center includes a children’s playground, activity area with billiards and
games, and an adult and children’s craft shop. Play shuffleboard and horseshoes. Seasonally, rent canoes, sports equipment, and bikes. At the Woodlands Adult Recreation Centre play tennis, pickleball, and basketball. There’s free lessons available for beginners. If you’re close to the Recreation Centre, enjoy a sauna and exercise room. Meet new friends on the dance floor. It’s also where you can make an appointment at Holiday Park Hair Care. After all that recreation, maybe you don’t feel like cooking. Stop in at the Blue Schooner Café for delicious home cooking at its finest. Frozen meals and take-out available. Holiday Park Resort is fortunate to have the Okanagan Rail Trail running right alongside the resort. A few steps out the gate and you’re on the scenic trail that stretches the entire length of Holiday Park, along Duck Lake and further south toward Kelowna.
