New management plan for regional park

The Central Okanagan Regional Board has approved a new management plan for the 92-hectare Mission Creek Regional Park in Kelowna.

The plan was created with public and stakeholder involvement and provides a long-term vision to help guide future park development and management opportunities.

The plan estimates about $3-million in capital park development and asset renewal costs (subject to budget approvals) over the next 20 years and includes:

• Management zones and carrying capacities
• A conceptual park development plan
• Park management goals and objectives
• A 20-year phased implementation plan
