As the days turn cooler, seasonal closures will begin this week at Kelowna parks and sports fields. The City of Kelowna says park restrooms and water fountains, including water services at off-leash dog parks, are now closed for the season. Caps prevent pipes from freezing.

All toilets and taps are expected to reopen in early April, weather permitting.
