Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park
is a popular beach destination, established in 1969, located in
Summerland's Trout Creek area. The provincial park is one of the
most visited public beaches in the Okanagan Valley because of
the large day use area and sandy beach.
Activities enjoyed in the 11 hectare park include
swimming, sunbathing, fishing, hiking, scuba diving, kayaking
and picnicking. The large sandy beach and grass lawns are decorated
with over 90 picnic tables.
The 1 mile sandy beach is the big attraction
of the Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park. The park boosts one of the
largest day use areas in the valley equipped with picnic tables,
a playground, washrooms, change rooms, boat launch and grass lawns.
During the summer months there is a concession stand on site for
drinks and snacks.
The lawns are decorated with trees providing
shade during any sunshine days. The Sun-Oka Park was created to
protect the Cottonwood trees in the park and the lakeshore.
The trees and wetlands provide a secure area
for wildlife including the Northern oriole, common loon, warbling
vireos and the blue-listed Lewis’s woodpecker.
