Heritage register
The Kelowna Heritage Register is an official listing of properties within the community that are identified as having heritage value. Search the register below.
The Heritage Register replaces the 1983 Kelowna Heritage Resources Inventory. In 1994, the Local Government Act, along with the community's growth and public interest in the conservation and revitalization of heritage buildings and sites, allowed for the creation of the Heritage Register.
Sports fields maintenance
We have a turf maintenance schedule that optimises top dressing, over seeding, irrigation and aeration. During maintenance, field closures may be necessary and last approximately three weeks. Signs are usually posted at the site to inform the public of the closure.
Using fields that are under maintenance can cause damage that will affect the turf's condition and therefore require longer closure times and an additional cost. If you would like to find out which fields are closed due to weather or events, call 250-469-8503 ext. 2.

If you want to use City park space for a fitness class like yoga or a boot camp, you’ll need to apply for an Outdoor Fitness Activities in Parks permit (even if the instructor isn’t charging a fee). Permits are required from April 1 to Oct. 31 and can be purchased on a monthly or seasonal basis (refer to application for current rates).
