The $6M project saw the redevelopment of a brownfield site fronting City Hall and the Okanagan Lake waterfront into a multipurpose urban park space. Key features include performance stages, a multiuse plaza that converts to a refrigerated ice rink in winter, riparian restoration, custom furnishings & lighting, new waterfront promenade, civic awards plaza and an iconic ‘bear’ sculpture. The project received national and international recognition the 2010 Canadian Society of Landscape Architects Awards and 2010 Design Exchange Awards (DXA)
