The 24 best parks and gardens in Osoyoos

It was the last day of a week long road trip, so we didn't explore as much as we would have liked. But it's a cool place. Next year we'll camp there for a couple of nights, and really get a feel for it.

I have been camping at Haynes Point since the late 70s. It's not groomed like private campsites may be and thereareno hookups but each site is private and surrounded by natural vegetation. Each site, even the ones in the center have fabulous views and easy access to the lake.

A stunning oasis with its picturesque lake views and well-maintained area perfect for both leisurely and strolls. The lush greenery and diverse flora create a serene atmosphere, ideal for picnics and relaxation. With its family and pet-friendly amenities, it's a must-visit destination for nature lovers. Kudos to maintenance for making the washroom well cleaned.

Love love love this park! We go every year. Sometimes more than once if we are lucky. Must be up early to reserve, but well worth the effort! Warm water , stunning sunsets, great for bike riding around campsite and Osoyoos. Great bird watching , boating or just floating. Clean and friendly always!

We arrived in early October without a reservation, little di we know it is BC Parks most popular campground. Luckily when we arrived in the dark, there were quite a few spots available and we had a Lakeside pitch. In the morning in daylight it was stunning. It was $32 and not the normal $20 we'd been used to, so we were a bit surprised. However, all the other private campgrounds were similarly higher in cost compared to similar grounds elsewhere. The flushing loos were an added bonus. The hosts were incredibly friendly to us and gave us loads of advice. Weather was great, the birdlife was fantastic and there's a great series of trails in the day use area of the spit which we loved. There was so much to do and see here that we could have spent weeks here with all the fruit and veg stalls and wineries. Could do nothing but praise the site and location.

We had two great nights there and conditions were almost perfect except for windy, at night. We woke up at 11: p.m. to gusty high winds coming off the lake. Thankfully we had taken in the awning on our trailer but had to secure a few odds and ends that were still out. Staff and area was clean and friendly. Washrooms were clean as well with flush toilets and sinks. Watch out for poison ivy. It is prevalent in the area and marked sufficiently.

Spent two nights here beginning of June on site 1. The site itself was great, private with neighbours only on one side and great access to the lake from the site. The bathrooms were clean and stocked the whole trip which was nice as well. There is a dog beach we went to a couple of times and were always the only ones there, I’m assuming because the sites have such close lake access. It does get quite windy so be prepared for that.

Such a nice and beautiful park in Osoyoos which offers stunning and beautiful view of the nearby mountains. This park is situated along with the Osoyoos lake and has many activities to do. It is an ideal place to go there with family and spend whole day and your vacations. There are many hotels surrounding this park and is really nice and good place to spend your summer days. Will keep on visiting it again and again.

Sandy beach and plenty of green space to enjoy. Beautiful mature trees. Lots of nearby parking. Public washrooms. Lovely views of Anarchist Mountain and the surrounding lake areas. Had a rainy day encounter with a baby owl while Mama owl watched from the tree above 🦉❤️

Beautiful beach area. Lots of space on the beach and the grass area leading up to the beach. Picnic tables and other seating available. Small dock and accessible pad all the way to the main after over the sand. A few minutes walk into downtown Osoyoos to shops and restaurants. A great spot to stop to take a break on your travels or spend a day at the beach.

Very peaceful beach, smooth sand , beautiful weather! Family friendly, good place for cleaning mind

Very popular sandy beach in heart of Osoyoos with free parking lot and grassy area, some benches, a few picnic table, open area performance stage and short trail...suitable for families in all ages for different activities like soaking in the lake, boating, water skiing and etc. There is small floating pier also. I'm not sure if ther is a fresh water shower or not. .

The main beach in Osoyoos. Big and in central location. Perfect place to relax with a strip of sand next to a strip of grass. The place is organised with picnic tables, public washrooms and faucet for washing feet. Amazing view of the mountains. Must visit here while staying in Osoyoos. We were here on Canada Day and there was live shows and Impressive fireworks.

Beautiful scenery , nice sandy beach in the heart of Osoyoos. Great for kids and families. Walking distance to some restaurants.😉😘😘

I took my grandson here to play on the playground. He had a nice time. He starts grade 7 next month so I figured I'd take him for a little party

Great little park for families if you want to get away from the crowds on the main beaches.

There is a nice playground for the kids. Toilets are pretty clean.

Great little park in the quiet north area of osoyoos. Love talking our kids every time we go visit the town

Pretty nice park with a good variety for all ages. Little slides for the little guys and big slides for the big guys.. swings for all ages, plenty for climbing and playing. Right beside a rocky beach if you’re into throwing rocks in the water. Not a huge parking lot though so might be tough to get parking during the summer.

Super neat playground!! I haven't seen a playground like it before, awesome! (I didn't get a pic of the super cool climbing area, we were all too busy playing on it for me to take a picture 😂) Nice little swimming area there as well.

Beautiful area. On the lake. Well groomed. Great playground. Lots of duck and loone wild life we experienced today. A little standing box of books to look at and read, open for the public to drop off new books. Great park

Nice place for the family to hang out. Beach is sandy, no rocks, washroom facilities, picnic tables, etc.

Love this beach as it seems a little less busy. Ample shady spots too!

Beautiful lake right on the US-Canada border. Lots of campsites, trailer parks, private homes, stores, and people. Supposed to be good for fishing. Lots of boats and personal watercraft on the water. Great setting with hills and mountains all around. Beautiful at dusk when the noise quiets down and the sun sinks low.

Love this place!! Beach is beautiful and sandy in most locations. And the water is a perfect temp almost year round!! Lots of great food and other amenity's close by. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Osoyoos is extremely beautiful year round regardless of where you stop to look at the view and eat lunch at a picnic table or in your car. Everybody walks along the water with magnificent mountains circling the view.

Nice Beach it could use the removal of weeds in the water to be removed before the summer season too many weeds in water unacceptable especially when we're a Summer destination place other features do not have any wear close as many weeds as his place house

Beautiful view, warm lake, designated swimming area - great for families!

Nice paved walkway, easy and you can do part of it or all depending on what you want. It ends by the tunnel below the highway but you can continue walking on the other side of the tunnel. It’s good activity to do in Osoyoos.

Canal Walkway is a very popular place to have a short or a very long walk depending on how you feel. The long walk has a fairly steep hill at the end just to let you know you had a good walk 😊

Nice paved walkway, even ground. Good spot for a leashed walk with the pup. Did the out and back in about an hour. Spied a raccoon and pheasant.

Beautiful, I've been enjoying this peaceful walk, at dusk there's loads of quail, the sound of geese and a little bunny. The plants are so interesting and diverse.

Great! I walk three time a week for one hrs so I wear weight vest.

Take my dog here for his walks lots of cacti in the summer as well as snakes so were boots and keep ur pet on a leash

Lovely trail, mostly paved and very accessible. Beautiful views!

Nice water park very close to the lake. I was surprised it was open the girls like it.

Closed may 1 when it said would be open. They meant the restrooms open but not the water park.

With the beach safely through a tunnel this area is a great place for families, part of the beach is even dog friendly

Our 3 year old grandson has a blasst! Great little spot...

Very nice splash park. It's not huge but has everything you'd need including washrooms. Well maintained and in safe area. Lots of parking.

Great activity for the hot summer days. Has a shaded area with table and chairs.

Love this park for our toddler!

We went to the beach in the city center, down by Boston pizza. The beach is clean sand is clean shore is clean water was refreshing. Not to busy . The shore line here is more sandy than other places. Come check it out ! Public washrooms. There nice . Place to by food. Grass area. Shade area.

Warm water to swim in, a very beautiful view of the mountains, on the other side of the lake is another country. There are great places nearby for camping. I would like to return to this place.

The lake is SO WARM! We went on the Canada Day long weekend and it was stellar. I recommend going on a less windy day so getting out of the water/being on the water isn’t as cold

Lake Osoyoos spans more than 5,700 acres and straddles the border of British Columbia, Canada and Washington state in the United States. The Okanagan River flows into Lake Osoyoos in a semi-arid region of British Columbia known as Desert Wine Country. This region has very low annual rainfall and some of the highest average temperatures in Canada. In fact, the lake is the warmest in Canada and is located in Canada’s only desert.

Beautiful town and lake. A tourist destination with water sports including a witbit. Pub, restaurants, cafes, fast food. And you are in fruit and wine country in Canada's desert. Many fruit stands and wineries in the area.

Nice place to kayak is the north end of this lake, at the Okanagan River entry. Larger grasslands in this area make for interesting kayaking.

We were driving passing by the lake, but attracted by its beauty. So we stopped and took some pictures.

We stumbled upon this place while looking for a dog beach and this place was absolutely amazing. They have a grassy area to the left which is for dog swimming. The water does have some seaweed in it, but a dog absolutely loved it and it was a nice place for us to be able to enjoy the beach with him. There are trees that can help keep you in the shade if you need. It is not a very sandy beach. It's more rocks nonetheless, still a great experience.

Great place to take your dogs! Not crowded, wide beach and dog park area nearby!

Shade, picnic tables, very long,. Large beach area, safe shallow water, dog friendly area, port-a-potty was clean too. Parking reasonably close

This is a very nice clean beach that is kept in great condition by the Town. You can even take your dog on leash onto the beach and in the water for a swim!

We arrive to this beach accidentally and it was such a pleasure to be there. The beach is shaded, quiet and dog friendly. There is a strip of sand as well as grass. We really enjoyed.

Beautiful cozy beach. Good swimming area. There are places to launch a boat. There are a couple of recreation centers and hotels near the beach. There are quite a lot of people on the beach. Children especially like it here. Because you can play around the water and in the sand. A friendly place for your pet. There are many parking spaces for the car. The water in the lake is cool, but swimming is possible if desired. Visit this place and you won't regret it)

There are a few beaches in Osoyoos, and I've been coming to this town since I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult though, I get to choose which beach I want to go to. Legion Beach is the PERFECT beach if you just want to relax and tan without many other people around. There are only 8 parking stalls available right out front, so come early. I showed up around 11 each day and most stalls were still empty, but they do fill up very fast. There is a motel right beside the public beach, but it doesn't really affect the calm atmosphere. Legion Beach will forever be my beach of choice when visiting my grandparents.

This is a post about plants. It was here that I first noticed the wild milkweed plants. That said alot about the localized climate conditions. It is warm and dry for this plant to flourish here. Never even seen this anywhere else in BC. What do you think? Have u seen it? The next plant I am looking for is the white sage plant.

This a short trail you must see it during your visit in Osoyoos. It's in the center of the city and could be your last part of the walking that was started from Gyros Beach. Plants flowers and few wooden archs along walk way plus lake and mountain view make it perfect place for some fabulous photo shoots.

What can I say a picture is worth a thousand words. Osoyoos is the best Canadian Winter getaway for Canadians this side of the border. Even on its coldest day you can get outdoors. Tulips starting to bloom, vineyards are being pruned and Cherry trees trimmed as Spring is in the air here. Truly a last frontier of peace, tranquility, simplicity on earth. If you look closely at picture in color there are 2 white swans. Picture taken mid Feb. 2021.

Lovely promenade, a short walk from Gyro beach. A calm and pleasant walk along the lake. Must visit in osoyoos. Highly recommended.

A must place to stop to stretch your legs when traveling. The town is so well kept & clean.

A beautiful place to go for a walk, take pictures and enjoy the view 😊

Beautiful walkway in Osoyoos. You can sit and look at the lake, beautiful greenery, and pretty flowers.

Great choice, tricky to find the parking area, which is between the Tennis courts and the High school. There are two separate sections of the dog park, one for small dogs, the other larger area for the big boys and girls. Plenty of area to run your best friend. The park is very well irrigated, providing lush green grass. There are shelter gazebos for shade, and water taps. Bring your own bowl. The terrain is sloped up from the parking area. A port-a-potty is also available for you.

Stunning dog park ! Small & big sides. Play apparatus too. The large dog portion is huge & lush green grass. Reminds me of a 500yrd fairway on a classy golf course. Not too far off the Hwy either, makes for great spot to stretch everyone’s legs

Huge, well-fenced area. Beautiful spot, really nicely maintained. Separate area for little dogs if desired, and nice shaded area on both sides with fresh water for humans and dogs. The people enjoyed it as much as the dog!

Such a good place to let your dog run!! This park is well maintained. The pet owners that use the park are friendly and help keep the park clean. Always come here with our pup when we are visiting Osoyoos.

Beautiful fenced in dog park ! Would highly recommend. Who over designed did an awesome job !

Great stop for travellers with dogs - even on a rainy day! Fun hoops to get your pup jumping and stretching. Great views. Lots of parking. Secure fencing, if you need that for your furry friend 🐕‍🦺 #bringfido

Such a fun park to visit. A nice covered area with benches, water available and some permanent agility equipment. This is a beautiful big space and really well designed and thought out. A great place to stop with your social pup.

A beautiful and romantic Walkway with your loved ones.

Beautiful park

So BEAUTIFUL peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) The staff is very friendly, they charge you for the size of the space you occupy, as of today June 23, 2023 $50 CAN for 15 square feet, they are located next to the lake, so in the hot season, it is great; it doesn't matter If you come with a tent or camping, it has bathrooms, showers and also laundry. It's very good, I recommend it (Original) El personal muy amable, te cobran por el tamaño del espacio que ocupas, al día de hoy 23-jun-2023 $50 CAN por 15 ft cuadrados, se encuentran a lado del lago, así que en época de calor, está genial;no importa si vienes con tienda de campaña o camping, tiene baños, regaderas y también lavandería. Está muy bien, lo recomiendo

Spied the mini-golf and couldn’t say no. Was pleasantly surprised to find they are dog friendly! Really pretty course, nicely maintained, super cute mural and structures. Has short putts but still challenging and very fun. Loved the addition of the spin challenges! This was so much better than I expected! Come check it out!! Worth a stop!!

We played an evening of mini golf here. Parking is behind or along the street. There's 18 holes, and each one was quite unique. Compared to our usual annual mini golf in Parksville, this place is better! Some of the difficulties make the experience fun and challenging. The pacing was also good. The way they designed the holes allowed them to compact things but not give you the experience of being crowded. This is an excellent mini golf park. We definitely recommend Rattlesnake Canyon!

The atmosphere at Rattlesnake Canyon was enjoyable, with a lively crowd and a decent range of attractions. While it was busy, the wait times for rides were surprisingly reasonable. However, the experience was dampened by a few issues. The day pass felt overpriced considering the limited number of available activities, and the parking situation was quite tight. Most disappointing was the encounter with a rude agent at the ticket counter, which got the day off to a less-than-ideal start. With some improvements in service and value, the park could offer a much better experience. In the end, my son loved the various rides and activities. Ride attendants including of Trampoline were great.

Such fun for the whole family. The staff are friendly and want to make sure everyone has a good time. They checked in with my 4 year old on the Bungee Tree to see if she wanted to go up high or not and respected her wishes to just jump on the trampoline. When I went on the swings I was told if I started to feel sick or scared to just give the guy a thumbs down and he'd stop the ride. Overall, pretty affordable too, all things considered. There is no entrance fee so it just depends on how much you want to do.

We went after sunset and got the day pass tickets for 2 adults. However we quickly realized the rides in the package aren't too thrilling for adults, so I would recommend just buying the go kart and mini golf experience individually instead. Lucky for us the staff was able to get us the mini golf in exchange for rest of our tickets for the other rides. The best part was we were allowed to finish the mini golf course past the closing time. There was another group couple holes behind us as well, which was really appreciated.

Worth visiting with kids make sure to check age restrictions and height restrictions. Not suitable for small kids but my daughter is 9 she can get in to most of the rides without trouble.

I drove up from Abbotsford for a random round of mini golf with my wife and kids! To my lack of planning we were rained out within 5 min of getting there (4hr drive lol) and the front desk gave us a rain check! We had a week camping trip planned in Gallagher mid August and planned on using the rain check but I forgot it at the campsite and Paul the owner had no issue trusting me! He accidentally gave us all day passes not mini golf passes and after golf told the staff to which they were very impressed we didn’t use the all day rides pass! We came back again for rides and paid for them gladly due to how we were treated! Yes there is limited rides as ppl say but for the space they have they use it well! The manager treated my sons above and beyond and helped my daughter for a ride and had a great talk with him! As I was enjoying icecream ( I think it was me that dripped it :( sorry Paul!) the owner walked by and noticed a drip of icecream on the walk way ahead and instantly got someone to wipe it up……. He’s always walking around ensuring park is clean and running well! If you’re visiting the area I highly recommend you check this place out as it’s a annual tradition for us and as long as Paul and the manager are there we will keep coming back!

We had a very upsetting experience at Gyro Café in Osoyoos. A staff member was extremely rude and confrontational for no clear reason, and at one point came alarmingly close to physically pushing my wife. We felt uncomfortable. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any customer-facing environment. We were shocked by how we were treated and would not recommend this place to others based on our experience. Response to your message below: We stand by our original review and want to clarify a few things. We understand it was a busy long weekend and didn’t expect perfection, but respectful treatment is a basic expectation no matter the circumstance. The owner’s claim that we were refused service due to behavior is simply not true — and the fact that he followed us to the parking lot and began shouting and swearing in front of children was deeply inappropriate and unprovoked. He had the audacity to say I followed you becoz you gave us a bad review. It was upsetting enough that we seriously considered reporting the incident to the police We’re not the only ones who have raised concerns about the owner’s conduct — a quick look at other reviews shows a troubling pattern. Calling customers “liars” rather than taking responsibility only proves the point further

The owner is extremely rude. The service is terrible. We paid for a drink and when we asked the owner for it he claimed we didn’t pay for it when WE DID. We had proof of our transaction, however when asked him to pull up the receipt he decline. We also generously tipped with each purchase. If I could give it negative stars, I would. It is evident that this regular occurrence based on other reviews, and the owners inability to receive criticism.

This beach is lovely. It can be very busy but the breeze from the water on a hot day is heavenly, the swimming area was nice and clean and the atmosphere is great and it’s very close to restaurants for when you get hungry or need a break from the sun. Only thing I wish was that it was larger.

Ordered iced coffee and mocha. Both weren't good. Have had much better coffee elsewhere. All we could taste was milk and sugar. The service was very slow like just 1 person working there. And owner was rude.

It was nice to have a cafe right by the beach. They served pizza, burgers, hot dogs, cold drinks, ice cream and so much more! The bathrooms were attached to the cafe.

Great food, great prices and great service. We look forward to coming back and also visiting our new friend Rocky 🐕 🐶

The owner and the staff were extremely rude, probably one of the worst experiences I had in my life. The owner yelled at me and looked intoxicated...

Not sure if the issue is just one of the owner’s (Gary) because his wife seems nice but our family won’t be returning here. First off, Gary seems to pick and choose who he will offer a site to. We were told there were no sites available until someone already camped there spoke to him and convinced him to give us a site. So clearly they weren’t all “booked”, he just didn’t want to have us stay there. We are a family with children so that was weird. There were other families with children camping there too. Next, he told us that there’s a surcharge for having visitors come to the site and extra if they’re parking there. Seems like he really only cares about $$ and not customer service.

Had a wonderful time here! Boyfriend and I needed a tenting spot and they had quite a few. Every tenting spot came with a little shed with a sink, running water, power(electrical outlet), and a fridge at no extra charge. They had Ice in the office for a charge. Bathrooms and coin-operated showers and they both were clean and well kept. Could see the beach from campsite, could see our campsite from the water. Highly recommend!!! Will be returning!

Worst camping experience ever. The owner (Gayri) is the most disrespectful and racist ever. He has no human decency. He picks and chooses who he wants to be nice to and who he wants to give a site to. We called to book and we had two spots reserved by the time we got there he said he didn’t have anything available even after we said we’ve booked. Hours later after someone convinced him he gave us 2 spots showing he had availability this whole time. Our stay there was awful we had a truck by our site to pick up some people with hazard lights on but he came and said we’re awful drivers, gross, and annoying for having our truck picking up people. If you’re confused about that good because me too. Anyways I do not recommend it

Very clean, and extremely quiet at night. Nice cool breeze off the lake at night. The cabanas have a fridge, light, outlet, and sink with running water. Lots of shade for tenting, wifi, and very motorcycle friendly. Pay showers that are very hot and $2 gets you a great shower. I’d go back in a heartbeat. The hosts were very friendly. Reasonably priced.

loved this camp ground so much! thether ball was so much fun, and our campground was a nice size! had a good sleep other than the fact we were so close to the lake it was so so windy at night only. in the morning it was so warm. the lake was so nice and close, but i found it was a little polluted. not sure if the tires were supposed to be in the water? the bathrooms were nice and clean and we met so many nice people! overall fun stay, although i did find the male owner a bit rude.

May be a little biased, as I have been going since I was two years old, but the owners are great once you know them, though they can come across as strict (Which is different from rude). The entire campground is managed by two people, give or take temporary employees, and is a level of quality that I've yet to see wherever else I go. Washrooms are cleaned daily (You'd be surprised how quickly people can leave a mess), and yes, the showers are coin operated. Not a bad thing, it means that you can have hot water for your shower. The site prices vary, but overall they are reasonable, and are almost literally netting the average minimum for camping in Osoyoos. They have lean-to 'cabanas' with a light, running water, and electricity, for a $4 difference from a grass site with just water. Needless to say, because of its quality, of course there's times of popularity where its hard to squeeze in a spot, primarily the long weekends. Don't phone them over the winter, because there's nobody there, call in May. Set up a site. Pay your deposit. Enjoy the hassle free stay! And, if there ARE any hassles, the management is UNDERSTANDING of the problems. Don't be afraid to talk to them by a gruff exterior!

I love the little Cabanas; the Fridge, electricity and sink with running water make it worth for me. My husband and I have gone here 4 years in a row. The owners are very nice (despite what other people are saying). Do NOT go here if you plan on having a big loud group. This is a very quiet respectful family friendly campground. So, if you're looking for a place to be left alone in peace and quiet. Lots of families are in trailer spots and keep going back year after year to Cabana Beach for decades. Tip: Bring a roll of dollars for the shower.

The sites are paved and the facilities are good. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Showers are $1 (4 quarters) for 5 minutes and there is good pressure. The owners are very responsive and the private beach is the highlight of this site. They even have an air inflator for all your inflatables right at the beach. Sites are not shaded and there are lots of full time owners but everyone is super friendly and they all take care of their sites. This is a well run site and we will definitely return again when we are in the area.

This is a beautiful vacation spot. Full hook ups for RVs, easy access to beach and walking paths. A little ways from shopping but very quiet. We stayed here in Sept just before the snowbird season. Most winter residence don’t arrive till October. We lucked out with the weather which was beautiful. Christine the manager is helpful and overall the park is clean. Only negative thing is the showers by the office could use an update. Or at least clean the shower heads with CLR.

Excellent staff. Unfortunately someone was parked in our assigned RV spot. Then there was a problem with the water in the next spot. Staff was excellent at resolving this issue. Bathroom was clean. Very quiet and peaceful, right across the road from their own private beach.

Review of Island View RV Park – Osoyoos Island View RV Park in Osoyoos is a true gem for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. One of the standout features of this park is the breathtaking view of the lake. Whether you're an early riser or prefer quiet evenings, you'll be treated to stunning sunrises and sunsets that reflect beautifully over the water. The park’s location makes it perfect for peaceful mornings and unforgettable evenings. Security is also a top priority here, with a gated entrance and friendly staff ensuring a safe and quiet environment for all guests. The RV sites are well-maintained and come equipped with power, water, and propane services, which make for a very convenient stay. What really adds to the charm of Island View is its natural surroundings. Many of the sites are located near a beautiful garden area filled with trees and colorful birds. Waking up to the sound of birdsong and relaxing under the shade of trees gives this place a serene and welcoming atmosphere. The park is clean, organized, and managed with care. Whether you're here for a short getaway or a longer stay, you'll find everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. Overall, Island View RV Park combines the beauty of nature with great amenities and friendly service. I would highly recommend this park to anyone visiting Osoyoos and looking for a peaceful place to stay by the lake.

Great location, and super nice staff. Doc was very attentive to our needs and great to visit with. Very nice beach just across the street.

RV parking across the road from a private beach front of lake Osoyoos. Great location and well serviced site.

Location can’t be beat. Private beach area across the street. We even made a duck friend.

No pictures of the park but it's a well kept park,beautifully manicured shrubs, grass nicely cut,beautiful trees of kinds, lots of benches for the elderly who needs a few more resting stops, wasn't able too explore the whole park, due to time and it's not a small park. A nice park for a family 👪 outing. Come down and enjoy the scenery and relaxation

Nice park that's swimmable for humans and dogs. Benches and picnic tables, washrooms, water fountain. Only things that could improve would be slightly larger and sandy beach

perfect beach for dog to swim and have fun.

Park is simple with no frills and sometimes thats everything you want. Picnic tables and garbage cans. Sandy beach and it’s Dog friendly. There’s large grassy area and it’s beside the walkway/bike path. Park even has a water fountain and benches to sit. Bathrooms have running water and toilet paper & hand soap. The bathrooms are absolutely wheelchair friendly or senior accessible. I didnt see a electric push button for someone who would need it, but the mens bathroom room for a walker, wheelchair or stroller and were tidy on my visit. No baby changing table if you have have small children.

Beautiful park to view Osoyoos Lake. Great beach to hang out at, or kayak, paddleboard. Very nice landscaping. Currently a bit of construction, looks like a new park bench is being installed..

So you give a beautiful beach for kids to the dogs? What is wrong with our society.

Very nice and clean bathrooms are clean U can bring ur dog beautiful scenery

Really great team here, my wife and I were working on a patio and Helen was amazing at answering all my quedtions and getting everything setup for us. The driver who delivered the product was nice and did a great job! Highly recommended 👌

I built a large RV parking area and retaining wall. They supplied 40 yards of clean 2 to 4 inch crush in 3 seperate loads over my 3 months of construction. I found their knowledge and service to be excellent. They met my expectations 100%. The driver Dave did a great job of laying down each load as I requested. Thanks for the excellent service!

Made a small first time aggregate purchase and came away impressed with the staff who priced it low, especially for a nuisance order, then insisted on giving me change. I operate my business the same way knowing the customer always notices when the transaction was just a courtesy. Very easy to recommend Osoyoos Aggregates.

Great, friendly, knowledgable staff and fantastic products. What more could you ask for? Thanks for all your help with my difficult pool project.

Great staff, very knowledgeable,

They had the topsoil that I needed and delivered it right on time . The driver was very friendly and said if I need anything just call and they would explain anything.

Super group, and appreciated their knowledge and suggestions for our small job

It is a wonderful place, great for kids as well as adults. It is well maintained and very clean. They picnic tables throughout as well as a covered area with 6 tables great for larger parties. There are also bathrooms on site, very clean as well. All in all a great place to visit.

My favorite park. My 2 small dogs like it best. Can meet lots of other small dogs here. Should fence the field part and make it for small dogs only.

Nice park with standard amenities and picnic area. Dog friendly but not all owners pick up.

Nice park to take the pups for a run. Remember to pick up your dog poop!

Great place too play soccer and have a picnic

Great day!!! Nice beach if you get there early.

Great little park, clean and simple

The beach is a lot of fun. The hike is not bad but be cautious, there may be rattle snakes on the route. If you take a boat just don't get stuck..

I’m not sure when, but as of June 2023, this is private property with public access blocked by a gate.

This place is like the lost island from Pirates of the Caribbean. You either have to know where it is already or have a magic compass to get to it. We had neither so we never got there.

Unable to access it by land. We asked at the campground and they advised us that it's on private land and can't be accessed. Maybe by water ??

Great beach and awesome place to feel as if you're on a tropical vacation in Mexico or Bahamas!

We cannot access it by the camping, there is a no trespassing sign. Too bad!

Nice Looks

Picturesque for sure. Great for dogs who like to swim, not run. Off leash area is very small, maybe 100 feet? Poop bags and garbage are up where off leash is not allowed. Lots of goose poop to dodge.

Sun coming over the mountain at the dog swimming park was beautiful and quiet. We had the beach to ourselves ☀️ 🐕‍🦺🐾🐾🐾

Beautiful place, but the dog area is quite small and limited to the sand. If you have a young puppy or are working on recall, you might have issues with them going up on the grass. The dog area is a lot smaller than usual dog parks, so if your dog wants to run, not swim, it’s not the best.

Good place to chill out with your dog

Everything here is solid.

A mostly unshaded beach. Less nice compared to the other beaches in Osoyoos. There is a strip of sand near the beach. There is parking on the street next to the beach

The boardwalk through the desert ecosystem is really well made and allows you to see great views of the area and the local native plants. If you're lucky, you'll catch a view of one of the local denizens but since they're primarily nocturnal and the centre is open from 9 to 4 it's not that likely. But lots of birds and insects to keep an eye open for. Nice little interpretive centre and gift shop with small selection. Great visit. Really enjoyed it!

All around very interesting for someone who likes deserts. Although technically the Osoyoos desert isn’t a desert, it is close enough to the official rating to make it valuable. The whole walk is about 1km, all on new boardwalk so it is easy. There are several stops along the way with info panels and shade, and as it was 36C when we did the guided tour, the shade was critical. Definitely do the guided tour. It is only $12 which is worth it as it goes back into supporting the centre. There are a few options for times of tours during the day so you don’t have to do one during the hottest part of the day. Our guide was very cute, clever and funny and obviously knew about deserts and the locale. She had been working there for three years so it’s nice to see continuity of employees. Bathrooms were clean, the Centre itself was small but tidy and geared for families as it had interactive displays for kids. Well worth it!

Beautiful desert scenery! A self-guided tour with accompanying pamphlet, with easy to follow markers & info kiosks along the path. On a hot day make sure to bring water & wear sunscreen as you're mostly out in the open. Very well done & well worth the fee, hope to come here again!

A great way to learn about local native plant and animal varieties! Such a unique landscape, and we had a lovely chat with a student employee who gave us some extra interesting info!

A information centre about the only desert in the whole of Canada! If you have time, this is a must-visit! We came from Kelowna and spent between 1-2 hours here. The centre has guided and self-guided tours along the 1.5 km walk through the desert. The self-guided tours were fun! Information spread out in 12 steps throughout the boardwalk. We determinated wildlife poop and flowers and learned a lot about the environment. Bring sunscreen, water and maybe a hat!

Good place to get the idea about Osoyoos desert concept. I appreciate the contribution by the paid workers and the volunteers' dedication as well. I felt this the place you can really see the real cross section of Osoyoos geography. The fee of 12 CAD should be considered as the our contribution to the effort made by them to educate the remarkable piece of land located in beautiful British Columbia.

We took the wrong turn to find this destination, incredible views, amazing wine lists, so glad we found this gem. Would definitely come back for R&R and a good lengthy hike to take in the scenery. Best to leave your electronics at home to truly get a sense of why you want to go there and stay at one of the local resorts. Best holiday ever to get back to basics!

I stopped in this afternoon for the first time to Sandhu Greenhouse and I was impressed with all the beautiful flowers for sale. After this last year it was nice to see so many beautiful flowers. Sandhu Greenhouse also had TONS of strawberry plants and vegetable plants ready to go. You must stop in and see the numerous plants, pots, shrubs and trees!

Very impressive collection of plants. It is the place to find what you are looking for. But they know that... so the prices aren't cheap .... Good selections. Showing you the plants I like. But I didnt buy any.

Here is a photo of my 30 yr old monkey puzzle tree in Osoyoos that I had to cut down for an addition (garage) These are available through the lovely people at Sandu Greenhouse. And this is a picture of the tree's base after my handy work.

Owners are so helpful, so many beautiful plants, and they are always showing and telling us little tricks and tips!

Friendly family-run business with huge selection of plants, shrubs and trees. Just a tad pricey, but some deals to be had. :-)

Awesome variety of plants. Really nice staff. Very knowledgeable

so many beautiful plants 🪴.
